Chapter 302 On CCTV!
"Boss Yang, do you usually eat in the cafeteria?"

"Of course. As long as I'm in school, I eat in the cafeteria."

Ever since Yang Xiao agreed to the CCTV China Economic Person of the Year Awards Ceremony, the program team contacted him the next day.

Then, a photography crew immediately came to Shenzhen.

The purpose is to shoot some life shots and clips, which will be used in the show later!

The interviewer was somewhat curious and asked:
"What about the weekend?"

"It's the same with weekends. I usually work overtime at the company on weekends. Of course, not always. Sometimes if I stay in school, my roommate will help me get food."

"roommate?"

"Well, the original rule was to play finger-guessing games, and the loser would have to get food. But, since I usually pay the bill, they were willing to give me face and not let me run errands."

"Hahaha."

The reporters who were interviewing Yang Xiao couldn't help laughing at what he said, and they laughed non-stop with the camera crew beside him. "This reminds me of my college life, it's very real."

Yang Xiao waved his hands, looking indifferent.

Anyway, these words will be edited later and will definitely not be broadcast. He is just so real.

They came from the Food Benefit Group company.

Everyone was already there, cooperating with Yang Xiao to take a few shots of formal office and meetings.

However, the program team mainly took into consideration that Yang Xiao is still a college student, and this identity is too explosive, so they proposed to come to the campus specifically to record some daily life. I believe the audience will be very interested!

There’s no way, the program team also wants to increase the ratings!
Although this award ceremony also had the presence of heavyweight figures like Jack Ma, it was already full of highlights!
But Yang Xiao is also a current youth idol, and they plan to put Yang Xiao's appearance in another time slot in order to ensure ratings!
"Boss Yang, can we start?"

"let's start."

In the cafeteria, Yang Xiao was eating with a tray in hand, facing the camera.

It’s just to highlight the truth!
"Mr. Yang, how did you come up with the idea of ​​establishing the [Food Benefit Group]?"

"The reasons are complicated. Generally speaking, it's because I'm a college student. Many college students are probably like me. When I get up on weekends and don't want to go out, I either encourage my roommates to go out and bring food, or I call some businesses to deliver food.

However, these businesses are fixed and there is no room for choice, so I want to try to combine them with the Internet, with online ordering and offline delivery.

Of course, the takeaway service was proposed a long time ago, but it is also difficult to expand it completely!

So, I wanted to use the resources I had and give it a try.

In the beginning, many people disliked being a delivery rider, thinking it was a loss of face, so I encountered difficulties in recruiting riders.

Fortunately, everyone is very respectful to me and I have a lot of fans online. During the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, I met a group of "spirited young people" and I was thinking, can I provide them with such positions?

Fortunately, they all work very hard. Now many people who work hard can earn tens of thousands a month, and some can earn six or seven thousand, which is more cost-effective than working in a factory. "

“I heard that the food delivery riders of the [Food Benefit Group] also have five insurances and one housing fund?”

"Yes, but it takes three months of training and passing the assessment before you can become a regular employee."

"Training assessment?"

"Yes, [Shihuituan] focuses on attentive service. Riders are the guarantee of users' dining safety. Service is one of our major brand strengths and is also recognized by users."

"Is this. Normalization?"

"Yes, in the food delivery industry, [Food Benefit Group] will be the most stringent standard, and we are even the standard! Now [Food Benefit Group] is already the No. 1 in the food delivery market, providing tens of thousands of jobs across the country. I can only say that under the Internet wave, there are many opportunities to make money. I hope everyone will not miss it."

"Uh"

The reporter who was interviewing was speechless at this time. This brat Yang Xiao actually used their program as an advertisement?
So he quickly changed the subject and didn't give Yang Xiao a chance to continue.

"Does Mr. Yang have time to study besides work?"

"Teacher, please be merciful. I can barely pass."

"."

Throughout the entire filming, the "Food Benefit Group" was actually not the focus of CCTV's filming.

Yang Xiao is the one.

Then they chatted some more and recorded some scenes that highlighted Yang Xiao's high spirits.

Yang Xiao himself did not expect that he would win the Newcomer Award out of the blue.

The winner of the Newcomer Award in the previous life and also an acquaintance of Yang Xiao.

It was Chen Rui’s boss—Junzi!
The shots of Junzi at that time were also shot in this way.

Let Junzi say a lot of bragging words to the camera

——“Build a company as awesome as Apple!”

——"We are pursuing the world's most advanced things in various aspects!"

——“Apple and Steve Jobs have almost no one to surpass, but that doesn’t mean there is only one way to climb Mount Everest, the north slope. We at Xiaomi want to be the example of climbing the south slope!”

He knows marketing so well!
Yang Xiao was just following suit, there was nothing wrong with that.

However, Junzi in his previous life won the Newcomer Award, but he didn’t appear in many scenes!

Even the acceptance speech was cut!

The main reason is that Xiaomi’s fan economy was still in its infancy at that time.

In terms of internet celebrity popularity, Yang Xiao is currently much more awesome than him, which is why the program team gave the Newcomer Award to Yang Xiao, who emerged late this time.

Moreover, don’t be fooled by the fact that Xiaomi has sold millions of mobile phones now.

It is also an Internet sales model, and the lack of a factory has been widely criticized, and it is not even considered an unemployment company.

What is more important is also within the consideration of the CCTV program team.

Time flies, and soon it is December.

Yang Xiao took leave in advance and went straight to the CCTV program recording site in Yanjing.

The program is a combination of an evening party and a pre-recorded broadcast. It can be said that it is attended by many big names and is full of style.

There is HTC Chairman Wang Xuehong.

Ning Gaoning, Chairman of Zhongliang Group Co., Ltd., is also the company that does not wash the tanker trucks that carry cooking oil.
There is also Liu Liangxin from Lenovo.

Sun Zhaoxue, general manager of China National Gold Group Corporation.

There is even Dongzi from Jingdong Mall.
There were great people from all walks of life attending the event.

Just kidding, there are not many people who dare not give face to officially organized events.

CCTV's China Economic Person of the Year selection is known as the "Oscar of China's economic world", and through this list of winners, one can "know the whole world about China's economy at a glance".

It has been held for the 2000th time since 2012.

Previous award winners include a number of big names in the political and business circles.

Just looking at business leaders, there are Li Ka-shing, Liu Chuanzhi, Wang Jianlin, Jack Ma, Pony Ma and others.

It is not convenient to talk about it in the political circle because the level is too high.

Yuan Longping, who made some netizens too full, also won an award, and he won a special award.
——Lifetime Honor Award!
Well, let’s not talk about that anymore, the award ceremony has already begun.

Yang Xiao sat in the audience and looked around. In addition to the award-winning audience, there were also many guests attending.

Junzi is also in the audience!

Yang Xiao was sitting next to him at this time.

There were many bigwigs from the industrial sector present, and people from their Internet circle were sitting in a circle. Among them were a few friends of Yang Xiao who he had met a few times before, and they came forward to say a few words to him.

Before the evening party officially started, Yang Xiao, introduced by Junzi, paid a visit to several bigwigs.

After taking a seat, Junzi asked jokingly and curiously:
"Boss Yang, why are you still sitting in the audience? Why don't you go backstage to prepare? Have you memorized your speech?"

"It's still early. This award is just a consolation prize. It's just a nomination to show off your reputation. It's not a heavyweight, so it can only be ranked at the back.

As for my speech, I haven't prepared anything. I'll just say whatever comes to mind. I'd better watch these big guys speak first. When it's my turn, the staff will come to greet me."

Little did he know that Yang Xiao had taken away Junzi's luck, and instead looked down on him with a look of disdain.

"Don't be ungrateful, Mr. Yang. You should be the youngest winner of this program since its launch. I think it's a foregone conclusion that you will be named the Economic Person of the Year next year."

"Hard to say."

"Haha, there's nothing wrong with that. If you can integrate the entire group buying market, there will definitely be no problem."

"Integration? This is a protracted war. It will probably be fruitless in two or three years. Besides, we are afraid that other powerful enemies will enter the game."

"Strong enemy?"

The speaker is unintentional and the listener is interested.

When Junzi heard the word "strong enemy" at this time, he couldn't help but think deeply, and then slowly asked tentatively: "Are you referring to Tencent?"

"Who else could it be? It's a well-known troublemaker in the industry, you know that."

“It’s also going to do [group buying]?”

"You are wrong, Mr. Lei. It has been doing group buying for a long time, but it has never taken off. I guess it will follow Alibaba's example and support other companies to join the market."

Tencent’s group buying app was called QQ Group. After it went bankrupt, it started acquiring other group buying apps, such as Gaopeng and Ftuan, and finally raised funds directly and merged them into Gaopeng.

However, Tencent seems to have a natural conflict with group buying. Even after introducing many channels, it still cannot make it work.

Yang Xiao knew that in the coming year, Tencent would raise funds for [Dianping.com] and directly compete with Alibaba. How could Yang Xiao not be on guard?

Seeing that Yang Xiao's face showed no expression, Junzi asked:

"Boss Yang seems to be very confident. Do you have a plan to deal with it?"

"Boss Xiao Ma is very rich and powerful. If he really wants to start a fight, I can't do anything about it. Boss Da Ma is also very powerful. Now that the two of them are attacking me, I can only resist stubbornly."

"Haha, I don't believe it."

Junzi rolled his eyes and smiled, "And as far as I know, your [Food Benefit Group] also has shares in Alibaba, right?"

"So what if he has shares? We have no friendship. Besides, Mr. Lei, you may not know that not long ago, Alibaba wanted to acquire my [Time Cloud Music] player, but I rejected it, and our relationship became strained. When the group buying market really starts to compete, he might abandon my [Food Benefit Group] and support [Meituan]."

"Not really, not really. Mr. Ma is not the kind of person who would abandon the donkey after it has done its work." Junzi waved his hand.

"Really not?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiao also smiled and looked at him with interest.

Mr. Lei felt a little frightened by Yang Xiao's look.

Although he said that it was not the case, he was actually not sure in his heart.

Because he knows Alibaba's style. The company likes to have full control over a company and will not feel at ease until it has completely acquired the company.

But how many entrepreneurs are willing to work for others?
Speaking of which, Junzi and Lao Ma actually have a deep connection.

Lao Ma also extended an olive branch to him, wanting to invest in his company, but was rejected by Junzi, who was too defensive.

Moreover, even earlier, Junzi had developed an e-commerce company called Joyo.com, which was earlier than Alibaba!
The later name of Joyo.com was Amazon China.

It can be said that in terms of original status in the underworld, Junzi was not much inferior to Lao Ma.

After all, the two of them actually look down on each other.

However, Kingsoft's IPO took too long, which caused Junzi to remain silent for several years and fade out of people's sight.

So much so that when he founded Xiaomi, he was reported in the news as being "over 40" yet still willing to devote himself to the mobile phone industry. This description has the meaning of an old horse waiting to be stable.

With these experiences, Junzi naturally didn't dare to make any guarantees at this time.

"Ah, that's hard to say. I hope Mr. Yang can survive this group buying war to the end."

"Thank you for your good words, Mr. Lei. Okay, the show has begun. Let's take a look at what the other big guys have to say. I want to learn from them, too."

At this time, a piece of music sounded and three hosts slowly walked onto the stage.

There were two men and one woman. The woman was Wang Xiaoya, very pretty, and the man was very average.

Wang Xiaoya took the microphone and spoke first:
"Looking back at history, we will see that the world lamp illuminated the darkness, and the steam engine liberated human hands. It can be said that industry opened the way for modern industry. This is the CCTV China Economic Person of the Year Award Ceremony. This year, our theme is the mission of industry. Welcome everyone to come."

This award ceremony has a theme every year.

For example, in previous years, the selection criteria were "innovation", "responsibility", "influence", "driving force", etc., and the selection criteria were also different.

The three hosts spoke a lot of flowery lines, and then went straight to the point and began to announce this year's top ten economic figures of the year.

Before the result is revealed, a VCR of the relevant characters will be played first.

It’s the thing that Yang Xiao took a picture of.

In this VCR, there are 20 CEOs in total, and only ten of them are selected.

Yang Xiao also caught a glimpse of his own picture.

There was no way, they were all old men in their forties and above, and the sudden appearance of this young man, as if it was a joke, perfectly illustrated what it meant to stand out from the crowd.

At this moment, everyone was staring at the big screen on the stage. There were a few older entrepreneurs next to Yang Xiao. They suddenly recognized the young man on the screen, the one next to him, and looked at him several times.

"Boss Lei, there's also your image on the VCR. Are you going to go on stage later?"

"Haha, to tell you the truth, I'm really just a runner-up this time. I think I'll have a chance next year."

"Oh? Next year?"

Yang Xiao also knew that there was no need to estimate such things, it was just a certainty.

After the VCR was finished, Wang Xiaoya didn't waste anyone's time and said directly:
"Who will be the Person of the Year this year among the 20 candidates? The first round of awards will begin now. First, we would like to invite the first round of award ceremony guests, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Vice Minister of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission."

Well, the guests who draw the prizes are all heavyweights, and the quality of this prize is indeed the ceiling level in the country.

After the two award-giving guests came on stage, they directly discussed arguments such as "the real economy is the foundation of the national economy."

The sudden mention of "promoting the development of my country's strategic emerging industries" made Yang Xiao come back to his senses. He thought that this was probably the reason why he was able to win the "Newcomer Award".

This is also the reason why Junzi next to him has the VCR screen.

They are not much different.

It’s just that Yang Xiao’s multiple identities, including his status as a college student, combined together, gave him a lot of extra points.

It seems that, faced with the choice between traffic and personal strength, the program team shamelessly chose traffic!
