At 7:30 pm the day after rehearsal.
The news broadcast had just ended, and the director team of the "Fight against SARS Charity Gala" issued a reminder to all the performers and business representatives backstage: There are still thirty minutes until the live broadcast begins.
Today's Xinwen Broadcast's ratings are off the charts. Audiences across the country have been turning on their TVs and CCTV since seven o'clock, waiting for the party to begin.
All the performance guests arrived backstage in advance to prepare their makeup. There were not enough makeup artists and dressing rooms. A few big-name singers brought their own makeup artists, but most people still thought of solutions on their own. Many female singers simply brought their own makeup tools. Come get your own makeup done, or swap makeup with other female singers.
Li Mu also arrived backstage early and declined the arrangement of wearing stage makeup. He chatted with Song Liang and his old acquaintance Robin, the CEO of Baidu, backstage.
Li Mu is the representative of Makino Technology and Taobao Technology this time. As for Wanying Real Estate, Song Liang is the representative.
After Baidu successfully acquired Yiting Technology and accepted Li Mu's shareholding, Robin's life became much smoother. With the influx of traffic from Yiting.com and the traffic support from Makino Technology, Baidu's success in a very short period of time Within, there has been rapid development.
This time, Baidu, as one of the outstanding Internet companies in Yanjing, was also invited by CCTV. Robin said that this time Baidu is planning to donate 5 million yuan to support the fight against SARS.
Internet companies are still burning a lot of money these days, so it is good to be able to spend five million. Li Mu praised Robin as a socially responsible entrepreneur, and spoke to him, saying: "I hope you will do the same in the future, Robin." If you can maintain this innocent heart, I hope that under your leadership, Baidu can become a benchmark company full of positive energy and social responsibility."
Robin couldn't hear what the words meant. He just thought it was Li Mu's expectation for him. He nodded repeatedly and said sincerely: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, Baidu will definitely continue to work hard in this direction."
Li Mu patted him on the shoulder and said, "You remember what you said today. In the future, no matter what adjustments are made to the development direction of the company, you must remember one thing and do not do evil."
"Absolutely." Robin agreed repeatedly, while wondering in his heart, what happened to Li Mu? Could it be that he believed that he would go astray in the future? Just kidding, I look upright and talented, how could I go astray? I don't understand...
Li Mu doesn't need him to understand. Sometimes, the direction a person chooses will be deeply influenced by his subconscious mind. Plant a seed for him not to do evil today, and he will encounter situations in the future that require him to choose between interests and conscience. Sometimes, he may make a completely different decision than he did in his previous life.
If he continues to go astray in this life, he will find a way to pull him back or kick him out.
Song Liang was a minority shareholder of Yiting Technology back then. After Yiting Technology was acquired by Baidu, he became a small shareholder of Baidu, but his shares were diluted much less. However, once Baidu is listed in the United States, Song Liang will also He received huge returns from it, so he also paid close attention to the development of Baidu, and even exchanged business cards and contact information with Robin.
When the show entered the fifteen-minute countdown, several middle-aged men in suits walked towards Li Mu. Li Mu was chatting with Robin when he suddenly heard someone beside him say enthusiastically: "Hey, Mr. Song, you are here too. !”
Song Liang stood up in a hurry and responded with a smile: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Pan, when did you arrive?"
"I just arrived and I happened to see you, so I came over to say hello."
Li Mu looked up and found that the person speaking was none other than the future richest man in China, Wang Jianlin.
Next to him, who was also joking with Song Liang, was another tycoon in the real estate industry, Wang Shi; the other person who didn't talk much was Pan Shiyi.
Seeing Li Mu, Pan Shiyi, who had been silent until now, said in surprise: "Hey, hello, Mr. Li! I've been looking for a chance to get to know you, but I didn't expect to meet you here today!"
When several other real estate developers saw Li Mu, they immediately greeted Li Mu warmly. Li Mu nodded one by one, and then said: "Mr. Pan, the two Mr. Wang, I have been friends with you for a long time. I am honored to meet you."
Several big guys who will dominate the Chinese real estate industry in the future were surprised to see that Li Mu actually recognized them. Among them, Wang Shi even exclaimed: "I didn't expect Mr. Li to be able to recognize us when he is so busy every day." old man… "
Li Mu smiled humbly and said: "You are all big guys in the real estate industry, and I happen to be a shareholder of Wanying Real Estate. I have half a foot in the real estate industry. Naturally, I have to be in awe of this industry, so I started very early. I have specifically studied your success experiences.”
Wang Jianlin smiled and said to Pan Shiyi and Wang Shi: "Mr. Li is called knowing yourself and the enemy to be victorious in every battle. He should study us first and then surpass us. No wonder Wanying Real Estate has been able to flourish in many aspects of Yanjing as soon as it started. It seems that Li is indispensable behind it." Always give guidance!"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Mr. Wang is ridiculous. It's not about giving advice. Mr. Song and I are doing real estate together. In fact, we don't have much ambition. We just set a small goal first and try to make him one or two billion. "
No one could understand the meaning behind Li Mu's words. They just thought that Li Mu was being too modest. How about making one or two billion first? The premium for each of Li Mu's pieces of land is more than this amount.
In fact, not only does Li Mu know about these big guys, these big guys have also begun to study Li Mu. Each of them is a veteran who has been fighting in the real economy for decades. Their sophistication is much better than that of IT entrepreneurs who only started to rely on the Internet at the end of the last century. However, Li Mu still only had a superficial understanding of them, but their understanding of Li Mu was already deep and comprehensive enough.
Ever since Wanying Real Estate went directly from a small fifth-tier city in Haizhou to Yanjing, these big guys have figured out the entire background of Wanying. In addition to Song Liang's original business background in Haizhou, Yanjing Wanying's biggest relies on two people, one is Chen Ze and the other is Li Mu.
Needless to say, Chen Ze's background can provide Wanying with strong government relations and even financial relations, while Li Mu's abilities are more comprehensive. Not only does Li Mu have super strong economic strength, but the cash flow on hand is also stable and scary. The important thing is that Li Mu has strong foresight and judgment when doing things, and this ability is matched by Li Mu's strong resource integration ability.
Wang Jianlin has always been worried about Wanying Real Estate's vision for acquiring land. When even the government was hesitant about the east line of Metro Line 10, no one could get the exact information, but Wanying Real Estate made the right bet. In one breath, six or seven pieces of good land were acquired in the East Third Ring Road. As the route map of Line 10 was finalized, Wanying Real Estate was able to accomplish overnight what other real estate companies could not achieve in several years just by relying on the added value of these land parcels. What’s more, they also secured an excellent piece of commercial land in Sanlitun and have begun to build Wanying’s first commercial real estate project, Wanying Plaza. This is completely different from their own ideas. Conspiring together.
Wanying Real Estate is also very experienced in swallowing up a lot of people in one go. Several residential sites are jointly developed with real estate developers in South Jiangsu Province, which not only ensures the strength and efficiency of the development at the same time, but also ensures the controllability of the partners. The Wanying Plaza project is the highlight of Wanying Real Estate. Even Wang Jianlin, who has just arrived in Yanjing and has been developing for a long time, cannot afford such a big stall. The people behind this who are really doing the resource integration don't have to think about it. I know, it must be Li Mu.
In front of these real estate tycoons, Li Mu still maintained the humility that a junior should have. He smiled slightly and complimented: "You are all seniors with profound experience in the real estate industry. Wanying Real Estate is just a primary school student in front of you. If there is an opportunity in the future, I hope you teachers can impart more experience.”
Wang Shi said modestly: "Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. Mr. Li's real estate business is just for fun. There has been such a big movement just by doing it casually. Those of us who regard real estate as our main business, how dare we call ourselves teachers in front of you?" , but Mr. Li can master the Internet very well, which really admires us old guys. Nowadays, everything is information-based and Internet-based. We also hope that Mr. Li can take the time to popularize Internet knowledge for us. "
Li Mu smiled and said: "Mr. Wang is too humble. If there is an opportunity in the future, we can study the combination of real estate and the Internet together to see if there is any spark."
Several people nodded. At this time, the executive director ran over and said, "Mr. Li, everyone, our performance is counting down to the last five minutes. The director invites you to come and wait."
Li Mu then said: "Seniors, let's finish the party today. After the party is successfully concluded, we can invite some friends from all walks of life to hold a salon together."
Business was important, and several other people immediately agreed. Then Li Mu took the initiative to exchange business cards with several people, and then went to the waiting area behind the stage with everyone.
Li Mu is the number one guest in the entrepreneur camp today. CCTV is not going to let him be the finale, but hopes that he can be the first to take the stage among the entrepreneur representatives. In this way, Li Mu will naturally stand on the stage for a while. To some extent, the longer Li Mu stands on the stage, the more attractive he becomes to the audience.
In the waiting area, Li Ziwei helped Li Mu tidy up his suit and tie. As time passed by, the ten-second countdown quickly entered on the prompter backstage.
The two hosts from CCTV had already taken the stage in advance. After a ten-second countdown, at exactly 8pm Yanjing time, the title of the party began to play on the backstage monitor.
At the same time, audiences across the country also began to watch the live broadcast of this performance in front of their televisions. This opening sequence was played on televisions in thousands of households at the same time.
The thirty-second opening ended with majestic background music, and the slogan "United as one, united as one, fighting SARS" stayed for about three seconds. Then, the screen switched to the stage of the performance, where two CCTV hosts were Standing in the center of the stage, ready to join forces to open the party.
The "Fighting SARS Charity Gala" that people across the country are paying close attention to has officially kicked off!
