Chapter 922 Planting a plane tree

On the morning of May 5, less than 1 hours before the opening of the first China Internet Conference, most of the guests and foreign guests attending the conference had already arrived.

The Yanjing Municipal Government has held many influential events over the years. It is not difficult for them to host emerging events such as the Internet Conference, but this does not mean that there are no challenges.

The Internet Conference is a grand event for China's Internet industry, and is it not an opportunity for Yanjing City?
  Emerging industries represent GDP and naturally represent political achievements.

The first China Internet Conference was held in Yanjing. Such a name alone was worth the efforts of Yanjing City and the countless manpower and material resources spent on it.

Lin Weimin was standing in the corner of the venue watching the staff busy. Standing next to him was a deputy leader of Yanjing City.

"The specifications of this meeting are almost in time for the general meeting." The leader said.

Lin Weimin responded with a smile: "With the leadership of the State Council, ministries and municipalities, the standards must not be low!"

"The city is only responsible for the specific implementation. It is your Guowen Group who takes the lead, and the leaders above also support it."

"It's mainly because of the support from the leaders above."

The leader laughed and said, "That's right."

He asked again: "Director Lin, this Internet Conference can be regarded as a grand event in the domestic Internet industry, and there are many companies participating."

"Yes, there are more than a hundred companies. Although they may not account for one-tenth of the total number of Internet companies in the country, they are definitely leading companies." Lin Weimin said this with confidence.

Sohu, Sina, NetEase, China.com, Chinaren, 8848, Dangdang.com, Joyo.com, Xici Hutong, Maopu Hodgepodge, Under the Banyan Tree...

Well-known companies and websites in China's Internet industry are all on the list of participants for this Internet conference. Not only that, there are also many companies that have just been established and are not well-known.

For example, Tencent was established at the end of the year before last, and Ctrip was established just last year...

In addition to these companies that were invited to participate, after the news of the Internet Conference spread, many people who were interested in developing in the Internet industry took the initiative to contact the conference to ask for qualifications to participate.

If Lin Weimin pats his belt at this time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the world's heroes are among my heroes.

"The domestic Internet industry has been booming in the past few years!" The leader sighed, and then said: "But we still don't have many local Internet companies in Yanjing!"

Lin Weimin glanced at the leader unexpectedly, "Not enough? Sohu, Sina, Chinaren, 8848, Dangdang, under the banyan tree..."

Lin Weimin could hardly count on his fingers, and finally said meaningfully: "Leader, don't be too greedy!"

But the leader said: "Han Xin orders troops, the more the merrier. Haven't you heard of this saying?"

Lin Weimin was speechless, "Then what do you mean..."

The leader showed some appreciation and said: "I heard that Guowen Group has invested in many companies. Aren't you going to invest in companies that look promising this time? Yanjing is the capital of our country and has the most abundant scientific and technological talents. , a place with the most advanced hardware facilities, where Internet companies can definitely get twice the result with half the effort.”

Lin Weimin looked embarrassed and said: "Leader, we are investing, not acquiring. How can we decide where the company will settle?"

"It all depends on people! I am very confident in the influence of your Guowen Group, especially after the holding of this Internet conference. The supreme martial arts, the sword slays the dragon. No one dares to disobey the orders of the world. From now on, you will be the dragon slayers of China's Internet industry Baodao, can this thing still trouble you?"

If you are a horse-riding person, what you say as a leader is really nice, but the key is to flatter him, and most people really can't stand it.

But Lin Weimin was very vigilant. What's the use of just talking nicely? After talking for a long time, didn't he just want to use his hands empty-handed and treat me as a young child who has never seen the world?
  "Leader, if a local starts a business locally, why would he come all the way to Yanjing? Even if our Guowen Group is a shareholder, we cannot force them to move to Yanjing.

Living in Yanjing is not easy! Don't you think about it, if the company moves to Yanjing, how much more operating costs will it cost just for one year? "

Lin Weimin looked at the leader sincerely. What I said has been so obvious. It's inappropriate for you to pretend to be stupid.

The leader obviously got the information released by Lin Weimin, with a smile on his face, "Oh, when a high-tech enterprise like this comes to our Yanjing, we must have supportive policies!"

"Ha ha!"

Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, how could Lin Weimin take such words seriously.

Looking at his reaction, the leader knew that it would be impossible if he didn't provide some benefits. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Weimin.

"Leader, don't talk about tax incentives or anything like that. How many Internet companies can be profitable these days? These are all things that appear in the mirror."

The leader guessed Lin Weimin's thoughts, and his face suddenly became embarrassed. He was still thinking about how to make up for it, and then he heard Lin Weimin say again: "I have an idea, can you listen to it?"

Once you have the steps, the leader raises his hand and please start your performance.

"The scale of this Internet conference is unprecedented. As you know, our Guowen Group intends to take this opportunity to support the development of domestic Internet companies as much as possible. On this point, I think the city and our ideas should coincide. Compatible.

But this kind of thing has to be done in a certain way. There is a saying that goes like this: Plant a plane tree and attract the phoenix. If you want to attract more Internet companies to settle here, you have to pay attention to what the companies are worried about and think about what the companies want.

You just said that Yanjing has advanced hardware and first-class talents, but you should also know that the real convenience in Yanjing is not something that small companies that come to Yanjing to start their own business can enjoy. "

The leader nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Although Yanjing's hardware and talents are good, there is indeed a threshold for it to be different from ordinary enterprises."

"So, we have to lower the threshold. Let these Internet companies feel the benefits of starting a business in Yanjing, and then they will naturally flock to Yanjing." 　　　 "What about?"

“For example, we can build a large entrepreneurial park and rent it to Internet startups at low prices, with free water, electricity, property and sanitation.

For another example, there are so many people in Internet companies, so they have to settle down, right? Do we need to support policies in this area? "

The leader looked at Lin Weimin suspiciously, and even to death he didn't believe that these words were what Lin Weimin was thinking, "Your Guowen Group seems to be building a building."

"Don't get me wrong. The land in our place is very expensive. It's not cost-effective to rent it to them at a low price."

"Then you want to find a desolate place for them to use?"

"It doesn't mean it's desolate. It's enough to rent a place at a low price and it's affordable. It can be reused!"

The leader pointed at him and said with a smile: "You are very good at calculating."

He thought about it and said: "Your method is good, but although the idea is good, money is a problem."

Lin Weimin immediately said: "We will provide the money, and the city will provide the space and give us an interest-free loan."

"Doesn't that mean it's still our money?"

"As you said, don't we need to pay it back?"

The leader pondered for a moment and said, "This matter needs to be considered in the long run. Are you busy today? Come sit in my office."

"I have to pick up some guests from the United States later."

The leader knew that the American guests Lin Weimin mentioned were the founders of several major technology companies in the United States. The domestic Internet industry has only been developed for a few years, and there is still a big gap with the American side. If Guowen Group can invite these people, it will be able to Not that big.

The leader didn't want to delay Lin Weimin's affairs, so he asked Lin Weimin about his thoughts in detail.

The two communicated for about [-] minutes, and Lin Weimin said: "Anyway, that's roughly it. You can think about it with the city leaders when you go back. Our Guowen Group will release some news at the end of this conference. If the city can make a decision, It can be released together with our news, and the publicity effect will definitely be extraordinary by then, ensuring that Yanjing will have a big face across the country."

"What news do you want to announce?" the leader asked.

Lin Weimin leaned forward and whispered a few words in the leader's ear.

The leader looked surprised and nodded solemnly, "Okay, we will discuss it later and give you an answer as soon as possible."

After chatting for a few more words, Lin Weimin left the Yanjing International Conference Center and headed to the airport.

The founders of the four major technology companies in the United States were invited to attend the Internet Conference, which seemed to be a great honor for the Chinese Internet industry and also invisibly raised the tone of the conference to a higher level, making it look like an international event.

Although everyone is engaged in the Internet industry, they are leading the way. Being able to invite them to exchange experience is a great thing for domestic companies, and of course they must be treated with extra courtesy.

Therefore, the organizer must reciprocate the favor and receive it grandly.

However, this conference is an industry conference after all. The presence of the State Council Office, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry and Information among the several organizers is a bit inappropriate. Guowen Group is both one of the organizers and an enterprise, and its level is not high. It is up to them. The reception was most appropriate, and people were invited by them.

In one day, Lin Weimin ran several times in a row and successfully picked up several people.

Among the four people invited to participate in the Internet Conference, the one with the highest status is undoubtedly Microsoft's Bill Gates. Microsoft has dominated the American technology industry since the 1995s, and Bill Gates was crowned the world's richest man in [-]. .

Yahoo is a new giant in Silicon Valley and has been on the rise in recent years.

Although Amazon is not yet the giant of future generations, it is still considered the leader of global e-commerce websites and has huge potential.

Netscape's Jim Clark is just a guy. Lin Weimin invited him mainly because he wanted to have a topic. After all, Netscape and Microsoft were at odds with each other in the past two years. He and Bill Gates appeared at the same conference. , the topic is bound to be explosive.

The successful invitation of four people was inseparable from Lin Weimin's years of investment in the American technology industry.

He behaves in a low-key manner in this regard, and the investment company umbrella he controls covers several layers of shells, such as the Virgin Islands and Hong Kong. However, there are traces to follow. Not much is known among the public, but when it comes to the level of Bill Gates and others , is understood.

So after Lin Weimin invited several people under the umbrella of an investment company, they readily agreed to attend the appointment.

In the evening, Lin Weimin hosted a reception banquet at the Yanjing Hotel. He was also attended by several ministers and minister-level leaders. The scene was very grand and made Bill Gates and others feel that their trip was worthwhile.

They agreed to come to China to participate in the Internet Conference. In addition to giving face to the umbrella company and the boss behind it, the more critical reason was that they took a fancy to the vast market behind China and believed that this was a good opportunity to communicate with the Chinese business community and government.

The party that night was attended by all high-ranking people, and getting to know each other would be of great benefit to their company's future expansion into China.

Treat the guests and hosts to the fullest.

After the banquet, everyone was about to board the car and leave.

Gates and others shook hands with the leaders, but they hugged Lin Weimin, their attitude was cordial, and they looked very warm.
