Chapter 908 Big Coffee Event, Tit-for-Tat Confrontation

Although Tianjing's situation is not bad, it does not mean that all Internet companies have come to an end.

At least companies like NetEase are still struggling to support themselves.

So as soon as he heard that Wu Tao had returned to the capital, Ding Lei came to visit him the next day.

Looking at Ding Lei, who looked haggard and aged by more than ten years, Wu Tao almost couldn't believe his eyes, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Ding Lei scratched his head irritably and said: "If you can't find a way out again, you can go to the foot of the Great Wall to find me!"

"Is it that exaggerated?" Wu Tao saw that he was still teasing, and knew that the problem was not too serious, but that the darkness before dawn was too unbearable, and he couldn't stand it.

"I've heard a saying before."

"What words?"

"Today is cruel, tomorrow will be even crueler, and the day after tomorrow will be wonderful, but many people will die tomorrow night."

Ding Lei clicked his tongue and said, "Hey, your words are rough but your reasoning is not rough."

"Really?" Wu Tao crossed his legs and looked at him intently.

Ding Lei met his eyes and immediately stood up, "That's it for today. I'm going back to work. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

When Yang Wei brought the coffee in, she saw Ding Lei leaving in a hurry, "Boss, why did Mr. Ding leave so quickly?"

"I figured it out." Wu Tao said without raising his head.

"Boss, you are so awesome!" Yang Wei praised sincerely, "When Mr. Ding came here, he was still frowning, but now he looks like a different person."

Wu Tao raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, I can cheat?"

Yang Wei blushed instantly and waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no..."

Two days later, Wu Tao rarely wore formal clothes and walked in from the south gate of Tsinghua University.

Today is the first meeting of the Tsinghua SEM Advisory Committee, which is held in the building of the School of Economics and Management.

As a result, in order to welcome this grand event, the Tsinghua University Garden was decorated with lights and colorful decorations on the first day, making it very lively.

Many big names have appeared in Tsinghua University one after another, adding a lot of international atmosphere. When the head of the central government, as the dean of economics and management, returned to the school for a meeting, the security standards were obviously improved a lot.

Wu Tao took advantage of the fact that he lived nearby, so he arrived at the venue not early. On the contrary, the big names who came from afar signed in early because they lived in Tsinghua University.

When I walked downstairs from the management, reporters and cameras from the CCTV Financial Channel were already set up there, and every big shot who signed in and entered the venue would get a close-up.

When Wu Tao walked in, he discovered that the volunteer responsible for sign-in guidance was the clever and well-behaved Jin Yue.

As soon as they met, Jin Yue said with an exaggerated expression, "Wow, Wu Tao, you are so handsome today! No wonder our Rongrong got there first because you are so handsome!"

Although the other girls did not speak, they also showed admiration.

Wu Tao nodded and said comfortingly: "Thank you for your hard work." Then he glanced at the few spaces left on the sign-in form and walked quickly into the venue without stopping.

As a result, as soon as I entered the door, I met my old enemy, Comrade Liu from Lenovo Company.

It can be seen that Liu Chuanzhi is very proud now. At least the raging Internet winter has not had a big impact on the PC physical industry. Therefore, it was inevitable that he would be a little gloating about his misfortune, and even when he was talking eloquently, there was a sense of indifferent detachment.

And this feeling was heightened to the extreme the moment he saw Wu Tao.

"Mr. Wu, you're fine!"

Wu Tao stopped, glanced at the committee members sitting or standing in the venue, and said in a polite voice: "Mr. Liu, nice to meet you."

However, Liu Chuanzhi did not let him go and asked: "I wonder how Mr. Wu's chip industry is doing? I haven't heard about domestic chips for a long time."

Wu Tao turned around, his eyes fixed on the other person's face, and he said calmly: "It seems that Mr. Liu is busy with everything and doesn't care enough about the progress of domestic chips. In fact, the first chip developed by Academician Ni has already been launched. market."

"...But Mr. Liu's trade, industry and technology route is very smooth, but I don't know when we can really engage in technology?"

Liu Chuanzhi snorted, "Don't bother Mr. Wu anymore."

Wu Tao said oh and left directly.

Looking at Wu Tao's back, Liu Chuanzhi realized that this guy was walking towards the front row.

Although there was a lot of movement in this advisory committee, there were not many people actually selected, about thirty people.

The seating order at the venue reflects the identity and value of each committee member to a certain extent.

Wu Tao walked to the front. Could it be that he, as a committee member, was more valuable than himself?

As for Wu Tao, who was walking in the front row, he already knew that he was in the first row, second only to Henry Paulson.

As a result, on the way there, he unexpectedly ran into other old enemies.

Christopher Galvin, currently the president of Motorola Group, is a typical white man, but he is already showing his age.

However, the committee members present at today's meeting, except for myself, all seem to be a bit older. After all, in the field of economic management, the older you are, the more popular and experienced you are.

"Christopher, nice to meet you, Hua Xia Wu."

Wu Tao said calmly: "Me too, Kristoff."

Kristoff spread his hands and said: "The weather in the capital is good today."

"Yes."

"Recently I have been paying attention to the launch of Lotus' new generation mobile phones. How should I put it?" Christoph rolled his eyes and said: "I'm afraid I have to say that I am a bit disappointed. Could it be that Lotus's design inspiration has dried up?"

Wu Tao said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Maybe you are right, but I think the market will tell us the final answer. Isn't it?"

Kristoff had to nod in agreement, but he remembered the young Hua Xia Wu in front of him.

Compared to Kristof, Nokia's current president, Jorma Ollila, came over less suspiciously. It's just that this Nordic man's blue eyes always sparkle with a strange light, and it's obvious that he's not totally without ideas.

It seems that this year's new Lotus phones are mediocre, making strong rivals such as Motorola and Nokia suffocate.

But Wu Tao is not worried.

After all, this time, even without the advantage of product design, Yuanqi Technology's marketing system integrating Ericsson's global sales channels should play a role.

The meeting started as scheduled.

Under the dense cover of long guns and short cannons, the man in the center, as well as government representatives and school representatives stepped onto the rostrum one after another.

Today's meeting schedule has begun.

The meeting itself was nothing interesting. It was nothing more than the reading of the committee charter, the appointment of personnel, and the final exchange of speeches.

Throughout the meeting, Lao Liu, who was sitting in the back row, kept staring at Wu Tao in the front row. He suddenly heard just now that Wu Tao was supposed to be the chairman of the committee this time. This news shocked him.

It wasn't until he saw Henry Paulson on stage that Comrade Liu was relieved.

If that young man was allowed to be the chairman of the committee, I would be somewhat unconvinced. Although the achievements of this older foreigner may not be as great as those of young people.

However, it didn't take long for Wu Tao to speak on behalf of China's top executives.

And at this time, the honorary dean on the rostrum, the one in the center, showed a special look of listening...

No way, are the rumors true? For a moment, Lao Liu was secretly frightened and had mixed feelings.
