Rebirth of the Wild Age

cctv China Economic Person of the Year, sponsored by the "Economy Half an Hour" column, this year belongs to the first session. Moreover, it was the first to start the online voting mode. A total of more than 1.237 million netizens voted for candidates. Then 100 economists and 50 financial reporters served as judges, and finally 10 economic figures of the year were selected.

The show will be broadcast on New Year's Day, but since it is recorded and broadcast, the real time for the awards is December 28.

The award ceremony was held at the Beijing Hotel. Perhaps because this is the first one, I didn’t even prepare for the dinner. Those winners and judges from other places stayed in the hotel arranged by CCTV early, and they can only eat buffet tonight, and they will leave after the awards are over.

I have to say that CCTV is stingy!

Just like the Spring Festival Gala over the years, the performance fee is only enough for the round-trip airfare and accommodation. The big-name celebrities have to lose money to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, and pay their own assistants to pay their own wages.

Song Weiyang had dinner at the courtyard house before bringing Chen Tao, Shen Si, and Hong Weiguo to the hotel, and was then directed to the lounge by the staff.

"Boss Song, it's been a long time since I saw you." Wang Shitou took the initiative to say hello.

Song Weiyang smiled and walked over, gave Wang Shitou a hug, greeted a few words, then turned to shake hands with Zhang Ruiming and said, "Mr. Zhang, I wish you a happy New Year's Day in advance."

"Boss Song is too polite," Zhang Ruiming said quickly, "I also wish you a happy New Year's Day."

Wang Shitou pointed to the seat against the wall and said, "Old Wu is over there."

Song Weiyang nodded and said, "I saw it as soon as I came in. There are the most people around Wu Lao, so let's not join in the fun for the time being."

Among the 10 winners of Mr. Wu this year, the only pure scholar, most of the others are corporate bosses, and there is also a chief consultant of the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

At this moment, Mr. Wu and the chief adviser of the China Securities Regulatory Commission were sitting in a chair, surrounded by more than a dozen financial professionals, and even financial reporters were taking the opportunity to interview.

On the other side of the lounge, President Liu of Lenovo was chatting with boss Zhang of the Eastern Group, and the boss of Qingyu Beer was joking with the boss of Hisense.

Suddenly a few people came in, the leader of which was Mr. Tian from Netcom, and Song Weiyang went over to say hello immediately.

The CEO of Netcom has to provide it, because Song Weiyang is still going to do online games. The telecommunications server in the north is too stuck, and only Netcom can keep the players.

"Hello, Mr. Tian!" Song Weiyang smiled and shook hands.

The manager Tian smiled and said, "Boss Song, I have been admiring the name for a long time, and I finally saw the real person today!"

Song Weiyang said: "With each other."

Mr. Tian made a few casual remarks and ran directly to Mr. Liu. Obviously he had an unusual relationship with Mr. Liu. Later he even became a non-executive director of Lenovo.

The 10 award recipients were clearly divided into three small groups after a brief exchange with each other; one was a financial group, headed by Mr. Wu and Mr. Liang; the other was an electronics and communications group, headed by Mr. Liu and Mr. Tian, ​​and the whole group. The members of the association are also attached there; one is a group of industrialists, the core figures are the bosses of Haier, Hisense, and Qingyu Beer. All three of them happen to be from Qingyu City.

Song Weiyang didn't go anywhere, sitting alone in the corner playing with his mobile phone, talking to Chen Tao and Shen Si from time to time.

There are also 50 financial journalists in the lounge, all of whom are judges for this event. These people talked to the bosses everywhere, and Song Weiyang was of course not let go. There were several who asked him to do an exclusive interview another day.

"Boss Song, didn't you bother you?" A young man about 30 years old came over.

Song Weiyang nodded and smiled: "Hello."

The young man helped his glasses and took out his business card and said, "I am Wu Xiaobo, a reporter from the Zhejiang Provincial Branch of Xinhua News Agency. I graduated from Fudan Journalism Department in 1990."

Song Weiyang immediately shook hands and said, "Hello senior, I have been admiring the name for a long time!"

"I don't dare to be a big name, but I have some bad names in the circle," Wu Xiaobo said, "I have always wanted to interview Boss Song, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity. This is a great regret in my heart."

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "I'm afraid you have interviewed more than 90% of the well-known entrepreneurs in China, right?"

Wu Xiaobo said: "It should be 50%."

Song Weiyang said: "Among all the financial writers in China, I like your articles the most. They have detailed information, novel ideas, seriousness, and the entire text is full of agility."

Wu Xiaobo said: "I am very happy to get such a high evaluation from Boss Song."

Song Weiyang suddenly smiled and said, "After all, it's a senior. Of course, we have to pick up good words when we meet for the first time."

Wu Xiaobo casually pointed: "Qin Shuo over there is also an alumnus. He was in the same class as me at Fudan, and he was also recommended as a graduate student. He is now the editor-in-chief of Nan Feng Chuang."

Song Weiyang said, "I will invite the two seniors to dinner another day and accept your interview by the way. Anyway, this interview will not escape."

Wu Xiaobo had a lot of foresight, and when a reporter came again, he took the initiative to leave and give up his seat.

After waiting for about half an hour, everyone was taken to the auditorium of the hotel. Ten winners and award-presenting guests sat in the front row. Economists and financial reporters sat up from the second row. Friends of the winners, including Chen Tao, Shen Si, and Hong Weiguo, sat at the back.

The host is a male and a female, both of which are guest appearances of "Economic Half an Hour". The male is Zhao He and the female is Wang Xiaoya.

Zhao He's hosting style is more stable, Wang Xiaoya's hosting style is more lively, and the two complement each other perfectly. This year belongs to the first session. The host first talked about the original intention of the selection activity, and then introduced several heavyweight award-giving guests, and finally started to get into the topic.

There is no big screen at the scene, and no vcr can be played. The host can only announce the winner's resume and winning words.

The first person to come to the stage to receive the award was President Liu of Lenovo, then the chief consultant of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and the third one read the name of Song Weiyang...The rankings are not in order, and the order is arranged directly with the pinyin of the name, so that no one is involved. excuse me.

"Let us applaud and invite the award-giving guest, Chairman Yu of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade!" the host Zhao He said loudly.

Chairman Yu wore a loose suit, walked in from the side of the stage with a wave, and stood side by side after shaking hands with the host Zhao He.

Zhao He laughed and asked: "The winner who is about to be announced, he has created many firsts in China, and he himself is very famous in society. Can President Yu guess who this person is?"

Chairman Yu said: "This year's 10 candidates are all well-known, and they have all created the No. 1 in China. Your question is too broad."

"Then listen to me reading the award-winning words," Zhao He said in a standard radio accent. "He is an entrepreneurial idol of contemporary Chinese youth. In the business wave of reform and opening up, he was a gangster at the age of 17. He has the first company in China. A private enterprise listed overseas, the agricultural cooperation model created by this enterprise has helped more than 80,000 farmers across the country increase their income..."

The winning speech was read for three minutes, and Zhao He asked: "Chairman Yu, now do you know who it is?"

Chairman Yu smiled and said, "Boss Song of Xifeng, I met him yesterday."

Zhao He was surprised: "Did you meet him yesterday?"

Chairman Yu nodded and said, "Yes. We are discussing something that is beneficial to the development of many domestic enterprises. It is currently progressing smoothly. As for the content, you will know next year."

"It seems to be a great thing again," Zhao He said, "Chairman Yu, you can make an official announcement."

Chairman Yu slowly opened the envelope: "It is Song Weiyang who won the first cctv annual economic figure!"

"Fuck!"

Song Weiyang stepped onto the podium amidst the applause and took the trophy from Chairman Yu: "Thank you CCTV, thank you "Economic Half an Hour", and also thank Chairman Yu. At that time, we should thank the country even more for the absence of reform and opening up. For the great decision made, there would be no chance for me to take the stage to accept the award today. Thank you!"

"Okay, we leave the stage to Mr. Song Weiyang." Zhao He said and left with Chairman Yu.

Wang Xiaoya immediately walked onto the podium and stood beside Song Weiyang and said, "Mr. Song, choose one. Do you want to make a topic selection speech or accept a live interview?"

The topic selection speech is an envelope with ten topics, the winners randomly choose one to give a speech, and the on-site interview is an interview with Wang Xiaoya.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "It's a live interview. It's a pleasure to chat with a beautiful woman."

"It's a great honor," Wang Xiaoya opened the note in his hand, "Mr. Song, there are 5 questions on this note, all selected from the questions asked by netizens. The first question, how much money do you have?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The audience laughed, because this topic is very popular, and it is often discussed in print media and online forums.

Song Weiyang asked, "Do you really want to answer?"

Wang Xiaoya said: "I think this is what everyone here and the people of the country want to know. Of course, Mr. Song can also choose to keep it secret."

Song Weiyang said, "I don't know."

"Don't you know?" Wang Xiaoya asked in surprise.

Song Weiyang said: "I really don't know, it's not that I want to conceal it deliberately. I haven't touched the money for these two companies for a long time, and I haven't even counted the shareholder dividends that are credited to the account every year. Jinniu Capital has invested in many projects. How much these projects are worth depends on the statistics of professional financial personnel. Take Google in the United States, which was valued at more than one billion U.S. dollars a year ago, but has now fallen to several hundred million U.S. dollars. , These assets are changing at any time."

Wang Xiaoya summarized: "In other words, you have too much money to count?"

"That's not enough, you can count clearly if you count carefully," Song Weiyang said.

Wang Xiaoya said: "Counting money is also an annoyance."

Song Weiyang said: "Indeed."

Wang Xiaoya said: "I want to have this trouble too."

"Hahaha!"

The scene burst into laughter again.

Wang Xiaoya said: "Then, let's change the way of thinking. You are ranked second in this year's Hurun Report, with a personal asset statistic of 10 billion yuan. You can probably estimate that the data is really more than 10 billion, or more than 100. Billion Shao?"

Song Weiyang said, "More."

"Are you too much?" Wang Xiaoya confirmed again.

Song Weiyang said: "Anyway, Hu Run is also guessing when doing statistics. I am also guessing now. It depends on who you believe."

The other bosses all laughed, because Hu Run's guessing this statement obviously hit their laughter.

Wang Xiaoya again said: "The second question for netizens is, what is your biggest worry?"

Song Weiyang solemnly said: "He looks too handsome."

"Huh?" Wang Xiaoya was stunned.

Song Weiyang said with a serious expression: "I have a friend named Ma Xiaoyun. He always tells people that a man's intelligence is inversely proportional to his appearance, which is equivalent to judging my IQ as a negative number. I usually don't dare to go out for fear of being a girl. Onlookers, it’s not good to get people out of lovesickness. Among the 10 winners today, I don’t dare to claim the first place, but I’m definitely the most handsome. So when they were in the lounge before, they all sat Let’s chat together and leave me alone in the corner to play with my mobile phone. It’s so handsome to be isolated by everyone."

The other nine winners sat down, all smiled, all amused by Song Weiyang's shamelessness.

Wang Xiaoya searched for thoughts and said: "Well... Mr. Song is very humorous and very confident. People who are humorous and confident can often achieve success."

Song Weiyang said: "Thank you, the host, for helping me sum up my successful experience."

There was laughter again at the scene, and those who didn't know thought it was a talk show.

Wang Xiaoya almost couldn’t hold it anymore. Song Weiyang’s thinking was too jumpy and he quickly retracted and said: “The third question from a netizen, as the world’s richest man, Bill Gates donated US$16 billion in 1999. In 2000, another US$5.1 billion worth of shares was donated. As China’s richest man, how does Mr. Song think about charity? How much do you plan to donate?"

This question may seem presumptuous, but CCTV is very measured, because they have investigated and know that Song Weiyang makes charitable donations every year, which is equivalent to helping Song Weiyang to promote a positive image in disguise.

Song Weiyang did not follow the routine at all: "The $20 billion donated by Bill Gates is a reasonable tax avoidance method."

The show director and Wang Xiaoya's expressions suddenly changed at the same time, and hundreds of people on the scene were also shocked. They were all unbelievable at Song Weiyang's answer-not surprised at Bill Gates' tax avoidance, but surprised at Song Weiyang daring to say anything. .

Wang Xiaoya smiled and said, "Why is it a tax avoidance method?"

Song Weiyang said: "This is not what I said, but the US "Fortune" magazine said. American charitable funds are tax-exempt, and charitable funds can be invested ~ www.readwn.com ~ Bill Gates' donations are donated Funds under his own name. These donations have no precise purpose, which means that the money is his own, just a different name. Of course, I appreciate Bill Gates’ charitable actions, although he may be for tax avoidance. But I will definitely use the money for charity, which can help many people in need. As for when netizens ask me when to donate, I donate every year, but it is just a few million donations, unlike Bill Gates. Donate tens of billions of dollars in one go. Don’t ask me questions about charity in the future, otherwise you will just show off if you say too much."

Wang Xiaoya is completely at a loss now. Song Weiyang has been informed of the program flow in advance, and even if Song Weiyang chooses to give a speech, the topic of the "random" speech must be disclosed in advance. The first two winners are very stable. Just because Song Weiyang is talking nonsense, Wang Xiaoya has a lingering fear and said: "The fourth question, do you have confidence in the upcoming 2001 Chinese economy?"

Song Weiyang said: "All kinds of data show that China's economy in 2001 will be completely out of the predicament. Entrepreneurs can take action. Next year, there will be opportunities everywhere. It just depends on your ability and luck to seize it!"

Wang Xiaoya finally breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't dare to interrogate anymore, and hurriedly asked the fifth question.

Today's awards ceremony was broadcast live on the Internet. When Song Weiyang said that Bill Gates' donation was tax avoidance, it directly caused the netizens to make a lot of noise. Because there is no such thing as charitable tax avoidance, Bill Gates’s $20 billion donation has been held up to the sky. I don’t know how many Chinese people admire and admire it. As a result, it’s for tax avoidance.

Many netizens chose not to believe the news of refreshing the three views, and even accused Song Weiyang of treating a gentleman like a villain. As a result, Song Weiyang’s supporters retorted it.
