Chapter 336 333.2006 Chinese Economic Person of the Year(2/3)
He said that business is my life.
This profound chess player is—
Liu!chuan!zhi!"
“At a business banquet in Europe, people were having a harmonious conversation, including an entrepreneur from China.
He met the wife of a local dealer and asked her, do you know our products?
The lady told him, I know, your products are of very good quality.
The entrepreneur was very satisfied and asked-
Will you buy it?
The lady replied, I won't.
The entrepreneur was surprised and asked her why.
The lady told him that I would choose Miller's product because it is not only a refrigerator, it is more like a work of art.
A few years later, he came to Europe again to conduct commercial negotiations with a well-known local home appliance chain.
The other party told him that we can only put 5 products here, why do you come in and let others go out?
He returned and said-
Because our refrigerator is more than just a refrigerator.
Later, he finally got his wish and entered this famous European home appliance chain, and their products could already stand side by side with Miller!
Because his refrigerator is not just a refrigerator, it also has a camera that can record every bit of his family, and also leave a message to his family, saying:
Hi, my dear, the breakfast is ready and it is stored in the refrigerator.
The entrepreneur finally smiled with relief.
Now he is the fourth largest white goods manufacturer in the world, with his factories and sales channels spread across four continents around the world.
This confident Chinese entrepreneur is named -
Zhang! Rui! Min!”
The music started to ring.
"As a ten-year business leader, the chairman of Lenovo Group's board of directors Shi Yanagawa is the keyword-
Plan!”
"As a ten-year business leader, Chairman and CEO of Haier Group, Zhang Ruimin's keyword is-
Challenge yourself.”
Shi Yanagawa and Zhang Ruimin walked down from the stage entrance stairs. The two of them shook hands with each other and walked to the front of the stage.
Host Zhao He led the two to the podium and said, "Please tell you first what you have felt in the past six years from 2000 to 2006, right?"
Shi Yanagawa stood in front of the podium and said with a smile, "It turns out that the era we are in is a very different era in China's history for thousands of years. It is an era of turning into a world-wide prosperous and powerful world power. So I think it is really a happy time to be born in this era.
So my colleagues and I should work hard to be good people, good things, good enterprises, and do our best for our era and our Chinese nation!”
Everyone below applauded, and the applause was thunderous.
Zhang Ruimin said, “
The first thing is that I am very moved that the years have passed very quickly.
I never thought I would build a world-class brand in such a short time.
Looking back now, we are still a certain distance from this goal.
Second, the past few years have been very long. We have experienced a turning point in the era, and we have transformed from selling products to selling services. This transformation is a very difficult process, and it is basically a rebirth.
Third, we are very moved that we have worked hard to break through the dilemma of the times.
Especially a process of transformation from traditional industries to Internet economic industries.
We have broken through the traditional economic thinking model and are entering an era of new Internet thinking model.
Thanks."
There was another burst of applause below.
"Thank you, thank you for your speech."
The host said, "Then I think, both of you are excellent representatives of our Chinese manufacturing industry and representatives of our Chinese brands going to the world. Next, you are invited to reveal to us the 2006 CCTV China Economic Person of the Year.
Please."
At this stage, the two award presenters will reveal the names of one person of the year in order.
Shi Yanagawa held the card given to him by the program team in his hand and said solemnly, "The 2006 China Economic Person of the Year is-
Chairman of Alibaba Group and CEO Ma Yun!”
Everyone applauded.
Then Zhang Ruimin announced the next one.
Although the entire audience knew who the 10 winners were this year, they didn’t know much about their appearance order, so they were inevitably looking forward to it.
Some people heard Ma Yun’s name and looked forward to pronunciating Dong Mingzhu and Sister Dong next. This is equivalent to a new Internet industry company fighting on the stage with an old traditional manufacturing company.
Sister Dong and Ma Yun are both relatively straightforward characters. If one of them is casual, you can talk to you for more than 5 hours and never stop.
Especially Sister Dong's style is very bold and has a straightforward personality. How many people want to see what Sister Dong and Ma Yun look like?
However, Zhang Ruimin read another name:
“Who won the 2006 CCTV China Economic Person of the Year is—
President of Bomi Group and CEO Cao Yang!”
There was a warm applause below.
Because everyone is an older entrepreneur, no cheers are heard, and countless people are amazed by this result-
It's Cao Yang?
What does the program team mean?
Put two giants in the Internet industry together?
The next one is so interesting!
...
Host Zhao He said, "Congratulations to Ma Yun, to Cao Yang, to both of you.
Let’s take a look at the actions they have taken in the development of their business.”
Next, videos of the two companies began to be played on the big screen.
The first thing that appeared was the video of Alibaba Group.
"Ali Group is now one of the largest Internet telemarketing companies in China.
In 2005, they generated 68.4 billion yuan in transactions, and on average, more than 10,000 transactions were conducted on Alibaba's e-commerce sales platform every day.
They used technology to change human life and provided convenience for people's shopping.
They have changed the industrial structure with technology and services, providing many small and medium-sized manufacturers with convenient and fast sales channels.
At the same time, it also saves a lot of unnecessary wasteful repetitive resources for society.
In the era of big data, Alibaba Group has provided online shopping and electronic payment through its own efforts.
The B2B and B2C models they created are changing China, changing the world, and changing the future.
And Ma Yun, he is the leader of this company, the leader of China's e-commerce, and the pioneer of the future big data shopping era."
"He is the webmaster, leading the world's only website that has been elected the best for five consecutive years, serving 5.5 million customers in 220 countries and regions. He also invested in Taobao to create China's first personal trading website.
As of October 2006, Alibaba Platform has gathered 15.5 million registered merchant members from 220 countries and regions, providing more than 16.4 million commercial supply and demand information to enterprises and merchants around the world every day. It is the largest and most active online market and business community in the global international trade field, and is a famous brand of B2B e-commerce in the world.
In 2006, Alibaba's platform's "Chinese Supplier" service helped more than 5,000 Chinese companies enter the international market, and these 5,000 companies received more than US$3 billion in export orders online.
In 2004, Alibaba platform continued to adhere to the "integrity communication" service to help enterprises establish online integrity files. At present, there are 70,000 honest communication companies franchise in China.
In 2004, Jack Ma added 350 million yuan in "Taobao", allowing Taobao to enter the top 20 in the world in 12 months. Now Taobao's monthly transaction amount exceeds 120 million yuan, ranking first in China's personal trading websites.
Jack Ma, founder and CEO of Alibaba Platform, was selected as the "Future Leader" by the famous "World Economic Forum". He is the first Chinese entrepreneur to become the cover character of Forbes in 50 years.
By 2004, global B2B e-commerce revenue will reach US$2.37 trillion."
The image of Ma Yun appeared in the picture. He said, "It's really not easy for me to go all the way. I started as a teacher in the Internet industry. Many people don't believe me. They say that you don't understand technology, computers, and the Internet. How could you succeed in making this thing?
But in fact, we have succeeded. We have built China's largest electronic sales platform, accounting for 65% of the domestic product sales share.
This trend is still expanding.
What I want to say is that although I don’t understand computers, the Internet, and the technology.
However, I understand what a new economic model is. Under the new model, everything will be impacted, and the new model will lead the arrival of a new era.
To be continued...
