Chapter 1701 Appointment

The Gulfstream was carrying a group of people full of expectations and flew to Switzerland. At this time, entrepreneurs, politicians, cultural and sports stars, etc. from Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, also set off one after another, just like Feng Yiping and his team, and flew to Switzerland.

Such a scene is also being staged in other parts of the world. Starting tomorrow, the meeting held in the mountain town of Davos will attract the attention of the world.

This regional academic forum, which was only used to introduce advanced management experience of American business 70 years ago, has now become the world's leading unofficial world forum, and the topics discussed are increasing.

In addition to the economy, it also covers many bilateral and regional issues, as well as major political, military, security and social events in the world, which have also become the content of the forum. It can be said that all hot issues in the world will be discussed here.

Many significant agreements have also been reached here, such as the "Davos Declaration" signed by Greece and Turkey to avoid war between the two countries, and the agreement reached between Israel and Palestine on Gaza...

There are also many important decisions that are released to the world through this platform. For example, two years ago, US Secretary of State Powell announced to the world here that President Bush decided to follow in his father's footsteps and clean up Iraq again...

Because of the advantages of unofficial forums, during the meeting, participants can communicate with others on an equal footing, whether they are leaders of the Fortune 500, academic masters, cultural and sports superstars, or high-level government officials.

Starting tomorrow, if you walk around the town, you can easily meet the prime minister, prince, or Hollywood star who can cause screams wherever he goes.

Of course, they can't cause screams on this occasion, because they are not the real stars on this occasion.

While many guests attending the meeting were still on the road, the town of Davos was already bustling.

This town, the highest in the Alps, with only 13,000 residents, is a ski resort, but now a large number of foreign populations have poured in.

The first to bear the brunt are up to 6,500 military and police officers.

This annual meeting will be attended by more than 2,250 representatives from 96 countries, including more than 600 heads of well-known companies, 25 heads of state or government, 72 ministerial-level officials, and even more members of parliament from various countries, as well as senior officials from international organizations including the United Nations.

With the ongoing concern about terrorism, protecting the safety of this annual meeting is of paramount importance.

Along with these military and police officers, there are also a large number of high-tech equipment including fighter jets.

It is precisely because of such representatives from the political and economic circles that, as usual, a large number of special "guests" have appeared around the town at this time. In many occasions like this, these special guests always come uninvited, adding a lot of vitality and vigor to many world-class conferences.

They are protesters from all over the world.

As usual, many of these protesters have held many demonstrations in many cities including the Swiss capital Bern before the Davos Annual Meeting, and they are already very experienced.

At this time, in the designated area outside the town of Davos, these protesters have set up many tents, waiting for tomorrow to come.

Although they adopted the same approach, their demands were not consistent. The "Green Party", which has become increasingly powerful in the West in recent years, is the most active group. In addition, there are many groups that oppose globalization, the Iraq War, climate policy, and call for attention to the rights of the poor, as well as animal protection organizations.

Their methods will also be diverse. As usual, it is estimated that there will be some beauties who will protest by not wearing clothes this year, or to attract more people to pay attention to the issues they care about...

It is precisely because of this that when most of the guests attending the conference were still on the way, a large number of media practitioners had already arrived in Davos. Although the meeting has not started yet, there are already a lot of dry goods here.

At this time, the media center was even more crowded. Many reporters were flipping through the half-foot-high information about the guests attending the conference to see which discussions their favorite interviewees would attend, so as to be targeted.

Among them is Kato from Tokyo. He is an excellent reporter of Nikkei Shimbun and the main force of Nikkei News reporting on this World Economic Forum Annual Meeting.

As the younger brother and vanguard of the United States, generally speaking, they should pay the most attention to American politicians first, and then, of course, the guests from their country attending the forum. However, this time it was a bit unusual. He first flipped through the introduction of the guests who would attend from the Chinese side.

His eyes passed over the names one by one, and finally stopped at the introduction of Feng Yiping. When he carefully recorded the discussions that Feng Yiping would participate in, he found that compared with the other places that were as clean as new, this place had obvious traces of flipping.

It seems that he is not the only one who pays attention to him.

"Let's go," Kato said to his assistant who was still looking up relevant information on the computer. Since so many people are paying attention to him, he should prepare well.

…………

Soon after Feng Yiping left, Ma Ling was discussing issues related to this annual meeting with the team, "How is the work progress of the Davos special topic?"

Now, YouTube, which has completely opened up the situation, no longer has to worry about content. The latest data shows that netizens upload a video of 1 hour every 30 seconds.

It has become gradually complicated to find the content that you are interested in among so many videos. As a platform, they have begun to set up special topics for some important matters.

Last year's US election was a successful practice of theirs.

"Very good, thousands of videos have been collected so far, and we are in the process of classification,"

"Yes, the content in this special topic must be of guaranteed quality,"

The main content of this quality assurance is clear to everyone, which is to avoid videos that attack the US government or politicians from causing too much impact.

Combined with the current situation, this is something that is likely to happen, and the United States is actually a country that pays attention to political correctness. As a platform, YouTube does not want to annoy the government.

Especially after 9/11, the government's control over this aspect has become increasingly strict, and some specific examples have effectively illustrated this point.

After 9/11, in the United States, which has always advocated freedom of speech, more than one American citizen has been investigated for his remarks attacking the US president.

YouTube is the most successful video website in the market, with users all over the world. It is natural to be cautious on such issues.

At this time, the phone vibrated, Ma Ling took it out and looked at it, and her face changed immediately.

She had not answered this call several times before, but now, she had to answer it.

She stood up immediately, "You continue,"

She took the phone and hurried to the office, closed the door, calmed down first, and then pressed the call button, "Hello!"

There was some silence on the other side of the phone, so quiet that Ma Ling seemed to hear the sound transmitted by radio waves.

She sat straight at the table, ready to face any words that came next.

After a while, a voice came from the other side, "Hello Ma Ling,"

After saying this, it was quiet again.

"Hello Huang," Ma Ling said.

After a moment of silence, the other party spoke again, "Are you available these two days? Can we find a chance to meet?"

The day finally came. Ma Ling, who was a little nervous, felt relieved instead. "Okay, I will squeeze out time. It's totally up to you."

The other party was silent again, maybe out of habit, "Okay, how about today, no, tomorrow at noon, you decide the location,"

Although the Huang Jingping on the phone was quite different from the gentle and smiling Huang Jingping she had met, her attitude on the phone still surprised Ma Ling.

The time was set at noon, and she was allowed to determine the meeting place, which would undoubtedly make Ma Ling feel a little relieved.

"Okay, I'll let you know when it's decided,"

"Okay," the other party didn't remain silent this time, "I'll wait for your call,"

This time, it was Ma Ling's turn to be silent for a while. She listened to the electronic noise on the phone and thought for a while, "Huang, I..."

"Beep beep," the other party had hung up the phone.
