Shenhao started as a military training anchor

Bai Jinpeng, the Asia-Pacific head and global vice president of Time magazine, was a little shocked when he saw Mr. Holly.

Although he had seen Holly many times in online media reports and even listened to his discussions with top domestic entrepreneurs, he was impressed by the image of a great entrepreneur.

But when I saw it in person, the visual impact was still too strong.

When a rich man under thirty years old with a net worth of 200 billion stands in front of you, you can't help but go back and lament how he did it and how he got here.

In the end, I would only use the word "miracle" once to describe it.

It is completely beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding.

His wealth is surprising enough, and his structure, cognition, and worldview... are far beyond his current age.

Bai Jinpeng walked into the CEO's office with a look of admiration on his face. He shook hands with Holly and said, "Mr. Huo, I can't use accurate words to express my current mood.

It's like a dream came true.

I've heard a lot about you! "

Very high rating.

As the head of the Asia-Pacific region of "Time" magazine, he has come into contact with countless political and business people, and there are also seniors whom he admires.

But the only thing that made him feel unreal was Holly standing in front of him.

That's why he used the metaphor "dreams shine into reality".

Holly shook hands with him warmly: "Mr. Bai is very flattering, and I am very honored to receive your email invitation.

Mr. Bai, please. "

Invite him to sit on the sofa.

Yu Huan poured tea for him.

Bai Jinpeng drank tea and asked with concern: "Is Mr. Huo's car-building plan still going well?"

Holly joked: "Now that social attention is so high, it has to go well even if it doesn't go well."

"Hahahaha, Mr. Huo turns out to be a humorous person in private." Bai Jinpeng said with a smile, "I have seen you at major summit forums before, and you left a great image of an entrepreneur in me, so it is difficult to communicate with you. Mr. Huo, who is privately humorous, contacted me, so don’t blame Mr. Huo.”

Holly nodded, expressing understanding, "After all, I'm still a young man."

"Yes, yes." Bai Jinpeng answered, "Mr. Huo, that's it. I'm taking some of your time today because I want to invite you to be the cover of our Time magazine."

"I guessed it when I saw your email."

"Hahaha, as expected, nothing can be hidden from Mr. Huo. If Mr. Huo has any guidance, just ask. I will serve you personally."

Holly said: "Thank you in advance, Mr. Bai. I am very honored to receive the invitation from Time magazine, but rather than the Asian version, I would rather be on the cover of Time magazine as CEO of the Year."

Bai Jinpeng looked at Holly blankly.

Holly gave him more tea, "Mr. Bai's eyes revealed some embarrassment."

Bai Jinpeng said bluntly: "Mr. Huo, it's not that it's embarrassing, it's that I don't have the authority to do this.

The selection of CEO of the Year requires selection by the organizing committee based on various criteria, and finally requires the president's nod.

My main responsibility is in the Asian market, and I was the one who promoted Mr. Li from Baidu back then.

After the cover character of that issue was released, Mr. Li became a pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence. His personal image as an entrepreneur and Baidu's brand market value have been greatly improved.

If Mr. Huo is willing to be on the cover of the Asian edition, I can make the decision in front of you right now. "

Holly smiled and said, "No need to talk more about China. After a trip to Southeast Asia, do I still need to use this channel to gain attention in Asia?"

Next, if Yisu can successfully acquire Grab, the Southeast Asian Internet giant, the name Holly will already be a well-known capitalist in the Asian capital market.

These Asian media and newspapers conducted exclusive interviews with him, to a certain extent, to increase his traffic.

Take advantage of him.

Bai Jinpeng did not deny what Holly said.

Hawley's personal influence in Asia has indeed overshadowed the influence of the Asian edition of Time magazine.

It is equivalent to serving the sales of the Asian version of "Times".

"Mr. Huo, although I have no power to influence the selection of annual CEOs, I submit the nominations for people in Asia to the headquarters. In this way, Mr. Huo, if you have time, I will send a team to make a record of you. A special interview in the form of a special interview will be submitted to the headquarters as information at that time.

However, in this annual CEO selection, Mr. Huo is not the only candidate from Asia.

So Mr. Huo must be mentally prepared. "

Bai Jinpeng said bluntly.

Holly smiled and said: "I believe in the public's evaluation and the organizing committee's judgment."

Very confident.

The international community is in great need of a young role model like him.

"Okay, Mr. Huo, let's make an appointment in private." Bai Jinpeng said with a smile.

Although he did not get what he wanted and invited Hawley to appear on the cover of the Asian edition of "Time", Hawley's participation in the annual CEO selection is also his achievement.

If Mr. Huo can be selected, the head office will be more satisfied with his work in the Asia-Pacific region.

After the two talked about business, Holly invited, "Let's have dinner together tonight? I made an appointment with Mr. Zhang from Hillhouse Capital."

Bai Jinpeng said: "Thanks to Mr. Huo for the invitation, I will fly to Shanghai in the afternoon.

Say hello to Mr. Zhang for me. "

"Mr. Bai has something to do, so I won't keep you here. If you don't mind, let's have a casual meal together in the company restaurant at noon."

"Mr. Huo is joking, who doesn't know that Xigua Video's canteen food is the best among Internet companies in Beijing?"

"Hahahaha, it seems you have been paying attention to me for a long time." Holly smiled.

"You have to pay attention to this once-in-a-century business wizard." Bai Jinpeng said flatteringly.

The two of them talked, laughed, and drank tea.

We had dinner together in the cafeteria at noon.

In the afternoon, Holly held a board meeting at the company to deploy Xigua Video's year-end sprint strategy.

We will definitely recruit more people by the end of the year.

Pull up the revenue data.

Xigua Video should also hit the IPO next year.

The pre-IPO data must be better viewed in order to increase the valuation.

Dinner with Zhang Lei at the Westin Hotel in the evening.

Zhang Lei will mainly do two things when he returns to China this time. After the headquarters of Hillhouse Capital moves to Singapore, there are still some finishing touches to be done in China.

Another thing is to communicate with Holly about the acquisition of Grab.

At the International Financial Forum in Singapore, Holly expressed his thoughts to him, and he was very moved. He made it clear that he was willing to be a middleman and coordinate the capital of all parties to facilitate the merger between Yisu and Grab.

Holly guessed that he brought good news this time.

"Mr. Zhang, I hope the stars and the moon finally bring you back to China." Holly smiled and shook hands with Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei joked: "I'm afraid it's not me that Mr. Huo is looking forward to."

"We're old friends, so don't say such disappointing things." Holly invited, "Sit down, I know you like Fenjiu, so I specially asked my friend over there to send me a 30-year-old Qinghua Fen. Let's chat while drinking. ”

"Mr. Huo is interested." Zhang Lei said with a smile.

"I have communicated privately with SoftBank, Grab's largest investor, and Temasek, the angel investor. They did not deny your plan, but they did not give a clear answer.

Based on my many years of investment experience, from a strategic perspective, Yisu’s plan to acquire Grab is likely to be realized.

The key factor still lies in Mr. Huo, the strategist. "

When Holly heard the words "strategic height", he instantly understood what Zhang Lei meant and boldly guessed, "North American market?"

Zhang Lei nodded, "I think Mr. Huo should have a plan." (End of Chapter)
