Chapter 1720 Ignore

It was still windy at night in Davos.

The wind blows from one end of the town to the other, bringing excitement all the way.

The night after the official opening, Davos was lively. There were so many high-ranking officials, so many celebrities, and various gatherings and parties in various hotels.

In Switzerland, there may be no such thing as a city that never sleeps. For example, the streets of Zurich are deserted after 8 p.m.

Therefore, Davos at this time should be the most lively place in Switzerland.

In one hotel, it might be a former government executive talking about the turbulent years of the past, and in the next hotel, it might be a reporter describing how he tried his best to finally interview Putin in Russia.

In one hotel, Nestlé was banqueting guests, and the attendees were well-dressed and smiling. In the next hotel, Soros was holding a private dinner, and several tycoons dressed casually sat in a well-decorated room and vomited. Fog, I don’t know if they are discussing joining forces again to carry out another looting-style operation against a certain country’s currency or stock market...

When most people are asleep, power and capital are always competing for attention.

At this time, Feng Yiping was listening with interest to a middle-aged man with gray hair describing the concept of regional economic cooperation in Asia.

This was a banquet sponsored by Temasek Singapore, and the important Asian guests attending the annual meeting were invited. Originally, Feng Yiping didn't want to attend such a dinner with certain political implications, but he couldn't resist Lao Ma's liking.

After having made global advances before, and finally collapsed due to losses - the official statement is a painful lesson of "strategic focus", Lao Ma's approach this time does not plan to be fully rolled out around the world soon. He plans to first expand in Asia. Give it a try.

Speaking of Asia, apart from our own, the most worthy of development markets are naturally Japan and South Korea. However, because these two countries are said to be market-oriented, especially for foreign investment except the United States, they are actually very different from other economies. Or the weird business environment, Lao Ma thinks that these two places can be left alone first.

He analyzed that in Japan and South Korea, you will definitely have to work hard for a long time before you can gain anything. As for his first step towards globalization again, he hopes to see the results soon.

Therefore, Southeast Asia, which has a large number of Chinese, is the direction that Lao Ma wants to conquer cities and territories next. Oh, no, Lao Ma has unified the relevant caliber, saying "I hope to serve more people in Southeast Asia."

At this time, while listening to the speech of the banquet sponsor, he was discussing something in a low voice with the swarthy gentleman next door.

Uncertain applause rang out, and this speaker's speech came to an end. A middle-aged man wearing a blue suit and no tie, who was very elegant, smiled and gestured to Feng Yiping. Amid everyone's applause, He stood up stroking his front and said, "Thank you all, and I am honored to have this opportunity to sit with business elites from various Asian countries to discuss the economic and trade development of Asia,"

This is also an acquaintance, the assistant to our foreign minister.

"As a responsible developing country, we have always been working hard to speed up economic and trade circulation within the region. After joining the WTO, we have greatly simplified the customs clearance process for many major categories of goods,"

"After joining the WTO, we have fulfilled many of the commitments we made before joining the WTO early...,"

"After joining the WTO, China's rapid economic growth has provided huge business opportunities for countries in the region. The market-oriented reallocation of resources has optimized the economic environment in the region and created a win-win situation...,"

Compared with other officials, the performance of our diplomatic system officials on such international occasions is indeed good.

In fact, for these close neighbors, their perception of us is actually a bit complicated. To put it simply, they want to take advantage of the ride, but they are also somewhat uneasy.

After all, we have been a powerful central dynasty for most of the past time.

Coupled with the instigation of some neighboring countries that are always wary of us, this perception becomes more complicated. After we joined the WTO, these countries generally have a worry, that is, they are worried that our highly competitive goods will flow in in large quantities. , impacting their economy.

In fact, this is not the case. In recent years, their trade volume with us has increased significantly. By the end of last year, our trade volume with ASEAN had exceeded 100 billion US dollars.

Of course, if he puts aside his current identity and looks at it from the perspective of an angry youth, Feng Yiping feels that our country is still too benevolent and righteous in many cases.

Unlike the United States, which easily sends its aircraft carriers to these countries for supplies.

That is actually a friendly display of one's muscles. For Japan and South Korea, the U.S. military garrison is naturally a kind of protection for them, but is it not a kind of control or deterrence?

We just give carrots blindly, but no stick...

During the break, he held a glass of wine and sat on the sofa outside the conference room, thinking freely.

At this time, the sofas in the corridor are also very lively, with people sitting on them and people standing next to them. Usually in their own one-third of an acre, everyone is the master, saying what is said. After a long time, it is inevitable that It will be a little boring, a little boring.

But here, there is no shortage of opponents to argue with you, which makes many people cherish it. Even during this break, they should also use it to argue. Of course, to put it nicely, it is called a collision of ideas.

This is also the unique Lounge Bar culture of Davos. How should I put it? It is a bit similar to the corridor diplomacy of leaders in other international occasions.

Seeing Feng Yiping in deep thought, the people around him did not disturb him.

They had heard of this young man before. After all, he was the richest man in Asia.

The entrepreneurs who had studied his case admired Feng Yiping the most for his vision. At this time, many people thought he was thinking about some important issues again. After all, in such an occasion where opinions collided fiercely, everyone had a lot of gains. It was very natural for Feng Yiping to suddenly have some new inspiration.

However, not everyone thought so.

…………

Kato naturally knew that Feng Yiping attended the banquet tonight. Although he was a little hesitant, he still followed.

The reason for his hesitation was that he felt that this was not the best opportunity.

This banquet tonight was named after Asia, and the guests attending the banquet were all from Asia, which was not international enough.

Kato's ideal occasion, not to mention guests from other Western countries, at least there should be many American guests, but he is worried that he cannot guarantee that he will have such an opportunity, and even if there is such an opportunity, he may not be able to grasp it - just like when Feng Yiping gave a speech this morning.

That is such a good opportunity, but it has nothing to do with him.

He also saved some luck, maybe there will be guests from Western countries rushing over in the middle?

He knew that there were many people interested in regional economic cooperation in Asia, because in recent years, Asia has developed brilliantly due to China's promotion.

However, until the intermission, no Western guest took the initiative to come, probably because today was the first night, so there were too many activities to choose from.

Feng Yiping, who he closely followed, did come out, but he seemed a little out of place.

However, as a reporter who can observe words and expressions, Kato still helplessly felt the respect of these Asian guests attending the meeting today for Feng Yiping.

This can be directly seen from some of their small actions.

Those famous people would take the initiative to signal Feng Yiping when they saw him sitting there or passing by him. Some of them seemed to be thinking with their heads down, so they didn't notice it, so they didn't react, but they didn't feel unhappy at all.

A few times, Feng Yiping saw it, and he seemed to be thinking about something, so he responded casually, but those people immediately smiled.

At this time, there were also many guests around who were happily accepting interviews from other reporters. Watching the time pass by, Kato, who was a little tormented, finally decided to seize this opportunity, even if it was a little unsatisfactory.

"Mr. Feng," he walked in front of Feng Yiping and bowed, "Sorry to bother you, I have a few questions," he took out a pen and paper.

But Feng Yiping didn't react.
