Reborn: Billionaire in College

After all, it’s not a real concert, it’s still an annual meeting.

At six o'clock in the evening, the originally buzzing and noisy Olympic Sports Center gradually calmed down when the host came on stage.

"Hey, Sa Beining, invite them all over."

As soon as Sa Beining came on stage, he bowed in three directions: "Good evening, everyone. I am Sa Beining. I am very happy that you can come to attend the 2010 joint annual meeting jointly held by Renren Group, Renrengou Group, Juzi Technology Group, Zhizhen Catering Group and AutoNavi. I am very honored to be invited to host this joint annual meeting because I am also a loyal user of Renren, a Genesis version member of Juzi S1 mobile phone, and I also love the milk tea and pickled fish of Zhizhen Catering."

At this time, Sa Beining turned his gaze to the first row of the VIP area, looked in the direction of Chen Pingjiang, and said with a smile: "The most important thing is that Mr. Chen is also my idol. Just now when I read out that long list of company names, to be honest, I was trembling in my heart, but when I thought about the fact that the old presidents behind these groups all pointed to one person, I was even more terrified."

Sa Beining pretended to shiver and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm unemployed in the future. Can you hire me and let me work for you? Let me introduce myself. I'm a graduate of Peking University."

"Haha!" The whole audience roared with laughter.

Chen Pingjiang smiled helplessly and shook his head. Xiao Sa was really good at creating an atmosphere and was also one of Chen Pingjiang's favorite hosts. His down-to-earth jokes immediately brought him closer to the audience and set a relaxed tone for the entire annual meeting.

After teasing for a while, Xiao Sa finally said seriously: "The theme of this joint annual meeting is 'hero'."

"Every hero in history has written a true story of life. Qu Yuan wrote with his fiery passion, 'I will never regret what I love, even if I die nine times'; Su Wu wrote with his unquenchable integrity, 'My flag is frosted by the wind, but my heart is as bright as the sun and moon'; Zhuge Liang wrote with his dedication, 'I became famous after my first battle, and who can compare with me in a thousand years'; Wen Tianxiang also wrote with his loyalty until his death, 'My face has changed, but my loyalty is hard to fade'. Heroes are searching for the true meaning of life, 'If anyone knows where spring has gone, please call it back to live with us'."

"The bodies of heroes are shining with the radiance of humanity. They have the noble friendship of 'If I see the plum blossoms blooming early, I should send you a branch'; the sincere love of 'I can never forget you without thinking of you'; the nostalgia of 'From now on, I will leave the road to the south of the Yangtze River and return home as a cuckoo with blood'; the painful sadness of 'If only one of the people survives, the thought of it will break my heart'; the deep family affection of 'I will repay my country with my loyalty and shed tears for my relatives'; and the heroic spirit of 'Live as a hero and die as a ghost'. The true feelings of heroes will always turn into sweet rain in the world, 'The east wind sprinkles rain and dew, and the spring sun shines on the horizon'; 'Success or failure is not important, heroes are true'."

"And in this wonderful era, you are the heroes. It is your hard work that has created many excellent and great companies; it is your perseverance that has rewritten the history of China's Internet and created the future!"

"I suggest! We should all applaud ourselves right now!"

Xiao Sa's opening remarks made the audience's blood boil. They howled with excitement and their palms were almost red from clapping.

After the opening remarks, leaders of various companies, led by Chen Pingjiang, took the stage to deliver speeches, and accompanied by the company's historical video played on the big screen, they summarized the development of this year and the plan for next year.

"Now, please enjoy the song "I Believe" performed by the representatives of the 30th class of the Renren Iron Army."

Chen Pingjiang was stunned for a moment, then asked Gao Songbin beside him, "Is the Renren Iron Army already in its 30th term?"

Gao Songbin nodded with a smile: "To be exact, it is the 32nd class. Now the training period has been extended from one month to three months, so the 30th and 32nd classes are in training at the same time."

"It's been so long." Chen Pingjiang suddenly realized.

In fact, Renren Tiejun has developed a complete training system today. There are more than 30 instructors of various types, as well as a dedicated training headquarters and dormitory buildings.

In terms of affiliation, Renren Tiejun has become independent from Renren.com and re-registered a training institution dedicated to cultivating talents needed by major groups.

Whether you are an ordinary store manager of Zhizhen Catering, an ordinary salesperson of Renrengou, or a technical backbone of Orange Technology, you need training before joining the company.

Even waiters in restaurants and ordinary operators in the Orange mobile phone factory need to be trained, but they are just under a different sign, and the courses and duration of the training are also very different.

In addition, every time an employee is promoted, he or she needs to undergo job training, management knowledge training, and leadership training lasting from one week to one month.

Periodically, each group will conduct spot checks on the performance of employees at all levels. Those who fail the performance checks will be retrained but their salaries will continue to be paid.

If a department is disbanded as a whole, the entire department will have to undergo retraining while waiting for a job transfer, and the decision on whether to transfer or dismiss will be based on the results of the training.

It can be said that Renren Iron Army is better than its predecessor, far surpassing Ali Zhonggong Iron Army in terms of business scale and school management experience. This is mainly due to the strong support of the management team headed by Chen Pingjiang.

Each group must regularly allocate a sum of training funds to Renren Tiejun every year to be used for Renren Tiejun’s daily expenses.

In recent years, many employees who have come out of Renren Tiejun have also been shining in various positions. Whether in terms of job adaptability, personal ability or teamwork, they are significantly better than other major Internet companies.

As more and more talents are trained and groups such as Renren and Orange Technology become stronger and stronger, some people who have left Renrengou have made exaggerated descriptions.

The reputation of Renren Iron Army is growing.

Other companies knew about the rigorous training system that Chen Pingjiang had created. It was not surprising that some companies came to poach trainers, and some even sent undercover agents.

After a dozen Renren Tiejun students in their twenties and thirties finished their passionate singing, Xiao Sa returned to the stage.

"Thanks to our students from Renren Iron Army, they sang very well. Next, we are going to listen to a song that has become very popular across the country this year and has been covered by countless people. The lyrics of the song are based on the book "Record of Buddhist Monasteries in Luoyang" written by Yang Xuanzhi during the Northern Wei Dynasty."

When Xiao Sa said this, the whole audience burst into cheers.

"Jay Chou~!"

"JAY! JAY!"

"Fireworks fade quickly!!!"

Xiao Sa nodded repeatedly: "It seems that everyone has guessed it, so please enjoy Jay Chou's performance of "Fireworks Cool Down Easily."

A spotlight shone on the center of the stage, and Jay Chou sat coolly in front of a white piano and played slowly.

Not far from him, there were musical accompaniments such as drums, flutes, and guitars.

"The sound of prosperity escaped into the empty door and shocked the world

The dream is cold and a lifetime of love debts and several books
If you default to life, death, etc.
Waiting for circle after circle of annual rings
……

The rain falls and the grass and trees grow thick in my old hometown

I heard you are always alone
The mottled city gate is surrounded by old tree roots

What echoes on the stone slabs is waiting."

Everyone in the audience waved their hands along with the plaintive singing, and held their mobile phones high above their heads to record the video.

After a long time, the song ended.

Jay Chou stood up, grabbed the microphone and walked to the center of the stage.

"Today, I am very happy to be able to attend this annual meeting. Just now, when I was in the audience, the host gave me a task and asked me to sing the next song "Blue and White Porcelain" with a mysterious guest."

Chen Pingjiang was still smiling unconsciously, not knowing that the three girls on Wan Yuqian's side were gathered together and whispering to each other. After a while, they turned their heads and glanced at Chen Pingjiang.

On stage, Jay Chou was still smiling and said: "To be honest, I feel quite pressured. I have never sung with such a big star. Everyone says he is the national male god. I am not convinced by this. I want to compete with him. After all, everyone calls me Jay Chou."

When Jay Chou said the words "national male god", Chen Pingjiang's face changed immediately. Damn it, he was still laughing foolishly.

How come no one ever tells me to sing?

The audience on the other side began to howl like ghosts.

"Director Chen, Director Chen!"

"Haha, I haven't heard Mr. Chen sing before. I didn't expect that."

"Look at the big screen."

At this moment, on the big screen, Chen Pingjiang had a confused look on his face, and it was obvious that he was not mentally prepared at all.

The employees laughed heartily, and they wanted to laugh when they saw their boss being humiliated.

Dai Sheng and Zhao Shaoyang were in the third row behind Chen Pingjiang and laughed loudly: "Brother Chen, come on up quickly."

Nina in the fourth row covered her mouth and giggled, while Cong Nini in the second row had a silly look on her face.

Yes, Chen Pingjiang invited all the people with whom he had a good relationship and arranged them in different areas so that no one knew each other.

In the stands, Zhang Xinyue also smiled and shook her head to answer Fang Yuting's question: "I haven't heard him sing for a long time, but he used to be a microphone bully."

Beside him, Yan Yan gave Chen Pingjiang an encouraging look.

Tracked by the camera lens and guided by the spotlight, Chen Pingjiang stood up with a smile and slowly walked towards the stage.

Not only the audience in the venue, but also the audience online were excited.

Although this online live broadcast was not open to the entire network, many loyal users of Renren, Weibo and Orange Mobile still obtained the keys to watch the live broadcast.

"Awesome! Chen Pingjiang was obviously ambushed. The stunned expression on his face was hilarious."

"I really want to go there. The atmosphere looks so joyful."

"Wake up, family members of employees are not eligible to enter. There are too many people. We are lucky enough to be able to watch it online."

"I said, if Jack Ma can hold an electric guitar and sing rock and roll, why can't our CEO Chen sing?"

"..."

After Chen Pingjiang came on stage, he bumped his fist with Jay Chou's outstretched fist, and then took the microphone from the staff. At this time, Jay Chou pointed to the teleprompter opposite him and said, "Boss Chen, look over there."

Chen Pingjiang nodded, not at all nervous.

When the sounds of zither and flute sounded.

Jay Chou picked up the microphone and sang first: "The blue and white strokes on the blank are thick and then light, and the peony painted on the bottle is just like your first makeup. The sandalwood fragrance comes through the window and I understand your thoughts. The brush on the rice paper stops here halfway."

After singing, he made a gesture of invitation.

"The charm of the glaze-painted ladies' paintings is hidden away, and your charming smile is like a bud about to bloom. Your beauty is floating in the air, going to places I cannot go."

As soon as Chen Pingjiang opened his mouth, Jay Chou next to him opened his eyes wide and laughed in disbelief.

"Wow, even though the breath isn't very clean, the pitch is on point. The key is that the tone is full and very comfortable to listen to."

"This level is much better than mine. Mr. Chen's level is also at the level of a microphone master in KTV."

Cong Nini looked at the stage in a daze: "I love it so much, I love it so much, well, I feel my panties are wet."

Yan Yan looked at the familiar figure on the stage with shining eyes.

"The sky is blue and waiting for the rain, and I am waiting for you. The smoke from the cooking stove rises up, thousands of miles across the river."

When the two of them sang together, Chen Pingjiang was still not drowned out by Jay Chou's voice.

After the song ended, the audience couldn't get enough and held up their glow sticks and shouted, "Encore! Encore!"

At first, only a small group of people were shouting, but soon the whole audience started shouting together.

However, Chen Pingjiang still waved his hand and walked off the stage with a smile.

When he stepped down from the stage, Li Xi and other high-level officials stood up and applauded with great respect, until Chen Ping and Jiang Xu made a few gestures, and then everyone sat down.

"To be honest, I didn't expect Mr. Chen to sing so well. You can tell he's practiced before." Jay Chou said with a smile on his face on the stage.

Next, he sang "Snail" and "Lanting Preface" before leaving the stage.

Employees took turns to perform on stage, and singers sang in between.

The show lasted for three hours.

At this moment, everyone in the audience knew that the climax was coming!
Interactive game session!

Lucky draw session!

The previous performances were just for listening, and the next part is for participation. Even if there are 60,000 people, according to the plan announced before the annual meeting, the winning rate will reach 1%.

When Xiao Sa returned to the stage holding the microphone, he pointed behind him and said, "Look, what is this?"

"Wow!"

“Lots of prizes.”

It was not until the lights came on that everyone could see the various prizes piled up like a small mountain behind the stage.

"Ahem! The prizes this time include 1 Orange Pad S1 tablets and 500 FreeBuds S50000 Bluetooth headsets. In addition, Renrengou has prepared a large number of vouchers, and Zhizhen Catering has prepared free meal vouchers for two people at stores nationwide ranging from one day to one month. Of course, since Renrengou and AutoNavi are Internet companies, they can only give out money. They have prepared various cash prizes ranging from yuan to yuan."

Just as the whole audience was shouting, Xiao Sa hurriedly said, "Don't shout yet, there are still big prizes. There are three third prizes for this annual meeting! They can each bring up to two family members to take Mr. Chen's private plane to Tahiti, which is known as the 'closest place to heaven', and stay there for seven days. All expenses during this period are free!"

"Two second prize winners: BMW 525Li 2010 sports model."

"First Prize: A property worth 200 million yuan in Dongjiang Haomen Mingyuan."

coax!
Everyone in the audience went crazy.

The barrages in the live broadcast room filled the screen like crazy.

"I'm crazy, I'm crazy, I'm crazy!"

"Fuck, I'm so pissed that I laughed. The first prize for our company's annual meeting this afternoon is a five-day trip to Yunnan, and it's with the crappiest shopping tour group. Other first prize winners get a house directly."

"The one upstairs, be careful not to be thrown out of the car halfway."

"If you work hard and win a house, you can retire and live comfortably. The house prices are rising so fast now, so you can cash out when they are at a high point."

"If you don't win a house, you still get a car. If you don't win a car, you can go on vacation. If you don't win anything, there's still a consolation prize."

"Other companies should learn from this. This is what an annual meeting is. Annual meetings are not just about eating and drinking. You have to pay for them!"

"Boss Ji, I know you're watching the live broadcast, learn something from it!"

"..."

The interactive game session includes a series of small games such as guessing the song title by listening to music, playing idiom chain games, guessing lantern riddles, etc.

Anyone who can be captured by the camera can go on the court. If they win the games, they will receive various gifts. If they lose, they will only receive a consolation red packet of a few hundred yuan.

Because there were so many people, the camera lenses were clicking as one lucky audience member after another walked towards the stage from the stands.

There were bursts of laughter at the scene.

"Okay, now it's time for the lucky draw that everyone is most concerned about. There are six sets of numbers on our big screen from top to bottom. When I shout "start", it will keep spinning, and when I shout "stop", six lucky audience members will be decided. When you enter, you will get a temporary worker card with your number on it."

"Then! Open!"

As Xiao Sa finished speaking, six sets of numbers scrolled rapidly on the screen.

Many people stretched their necks, some waved their hands nervously and expectantly, and some even prayed exaggeratedly on the spot.

“停！让我们恭喜这六位幸运员工。一等奖：47928号。二等奖：29145号、03579号。三等奖：57182号、09761号、46111号。”

"I won, I won." On the north stand, a girl wearing glasses flushed with excitement and pointed at her temporary worker card to her colleagues next to her.

"What prize? It won't be first prize, right?"

The attention of other people around was also attracted. "The koi is right next to me."

“First prize!”

"..."

Under the envious gazes of the crowd, lucky winners walked out from the stands and VIP areas.

The CEOs headed by Chen Pingjiang presented awards to the lucky winners in turn and took photos with them.

After the group photo, Chen Pingjiang took the microphone again and announced to the audience: "Because the situations of each group are different, the specific year-end bonus plan will be announced tomorrow, which may be notified by email or in a hotel."

The employees who didn't win any prizes were feeling a little disappointed, but they became more excited after hearing these words.

The year-end bonuses of all group companies under Chen Pingjiang’s name are linked to performance.

There are five gears: A, B, C, D, and E respectively.

Employees with performance evaluation A receive a one-time year-end bonus of 6 months' salary.

Level B, 5 months; Level C, 4 months; Level D, 3 months; Level E; 2 months.

If you don’t even get an E, you basically need to reflect on what you have done this year, and you can submit your resume again after the new year.

For example, everyone in the "Toutiao" project team is an A, because this APP became a huge hit as soon as it was launched.

Even for big money-makers like the gaming department, it is difficult to get all A's.

You may even get a B or C because of weak data growth and revenue growth falling short of expectations.

It is more scientific to pursue growth rather than rest on your laurels, otherwise the gaming department will only get an A every year.

"I am very happy to have spent an unforgettable night with you all tonight. Thank you all for your hard work in 2010. In 2011, we will support each other and keep working hard!"

After Chen Pingjiang finished his closing remarks.

Melodious music sounded in the venue, and 2010 came to an end. (End of this chapter)
