Chapter 873 Establishment of Young Global Leaders
In fact, European countries have started various activities to commemorate the 4th anniversary of the end of World War II since the end of April this year.

For example, on April 4, people from all walks of life in Poland, as well as representatives of countries participating in World War II, gathered grandly to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps.

Of course, the protagonists of commemorative activities in Western Europe are Britain and France.

On May 5, Queen Elizabeth II delivered a speech in the British Parliament, paying tribute to the soldiers who died in World War II.

From May 5th to May 6th, the United Kingdom carried out nationwide commemorative activities centered on Hyde Park.

The climax of the British commemorative activities was on the afternoon of May 5th—the Queen of England, British Prime Minister John Major, and visiting German President Roman Herzog and German Chancellor Helmut Leaders from more than 7 countries, including Kerr, US Vice President Al Gore, Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin, and French Senate President René Monoly, came to Hyde Park to participate in the conference Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Victory in Europe.

The commemorative activities in France also start on May 5, but the climax is on May 6 - French President Francois Mitterrand, newly elected French President Jacques Chirac, and German President Roman Hertz Representatives from more than 5 countries, including Erzog, German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, British Prime Minister John Major, US Vice President Al Gore, and Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin, attended the A celebration ceremony under the Arc de Triomphe at the Place de Gaulle in Paris.

Because the timing of the ceremony was deliberately arranged to be staggered, Tang Huan was able to catch up.

In addition to his feeling of "really lively", there is also a layer of faint loss-the East also suffered a heavy loss, but it seems to be only a supporting role.

In particular, the group of Germans headed by President Roman Herzog apologized and introspected...the attitude is called a humility--recognize all the crimes committed by Germany!

……

到了5月9日，俄罗斯开始唱主角。其“5·9庆典”也是全世界纪念反***战争胜利50周年活动的高潮部分——全球50多个国家的元首或者政府首脑，应邀出席，尤其包括了联合国秘书长和“五常”的国家元首。

For this reason, Moscow specially built a monument to Marshal Zhukov in the city center. Of course, Russia also arranged a famous military parade.

Tang Huan was very interested in this. Gein's impression of this kind of wonderful drama was only from the live broadcast or video in the original time and space. It is not as direct as watching "Goose Walk" at the VIP seat on the spot.

The highlight of the event was extraordinarily grand, with many links, including the unveiling ceremony of the Great Patriotic War Memorial Hall, and leaders of some countries were invited to give speeches.

After finally waiting for the military parade to start, Tang Huan realized that there was actually only "goose steps" left to be seen. After all, the current Russian establishment has fallen to the West, and at the same time, its economic strength has declined sharply, and its military is no longer what it used to be. up.

No matter what, Tang Huan came to the right occasion where many state leaders gathered - such a convenient opportunity to socialize is indeed something that cannot be easily encountered.

After the military parade, there is one last important event, that is, the Kremlin holds a celebratory banquet for the heads of state and government attending the grand ceremony.

Tang Huan walked around for several days and met so many people intensively, so he couldn't help feeling a little tired, so he asked about the content of the banquet a little bit timidly. Fortunately, eating, drinking and watching performances should be quite relaxing.

As a result, not long after the banquet started, the host invited American President Bill Clinton, French President François Mitterrand, German Chancellor Helmut Chancellor, who had already spoken at the opening ceremony of the Great Patriotic War Memorial during the day Cole and others took the stage to speak.

The richest man almost yawned, and he couldn't help but say, is it necessary to be so enthusiastic?
After all these people finished speaking, the host began to remove the microphones on the stage and prepare to perform.

Seeing this scene, Tang Huan raised his eyebrows—China hasn't given the same speech yet!This can be regarded as an obvious diplomatic faux pas, isn't it so snobbish?
The richest man is aware of this, and China is no exception.

Finally, the representative stood up decisively.Approaching Karma, he said directly in Russian, "I would like to say a few words on behalf of China."

"I agree." Karma Qin replied immediately, and beckoned the protocol officer to come over and make arrangements.

After the standing microphone was put back on the stage and the audience was silent, he walked steadily to the microphone and said in a steady and forceful tone——On behalf of the Chinese government and people, I would like to extend my condolences to all those who have won the Anti-Japanese War. I would like to express my warm congratulations to the countries and people who have made contributions, and express my heartfelt thanks and deep respect to those countries and people who supported and assisted the Chinese people in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.The Chinese government and people are willing to work together with people from all over the world to build a new world of peace, development and prosperity.

The speech was concise and clear. As the audience warmly applauded, the richest man snorted secretly in his heart - in another 20 years, who would dare to be so snobbish about China?Perhaps in a few years, the Russian establishment will understand what they have paid for their flattery.

When we got here, the host of the banquet suggested a toast, so everyone happily raised their glasses to celebrate, as if nothing happened just now.

……

Because I came to Russia twice in the first half of this year alone, and the matter has already been dealt with, so there is no need for the richest man to stay here too much. After attending the "5" celebration, he should contact him during this time Invited by the leaders of the countries to visit, visit other countries in the CIS, as well as Central and Eastern Europe, right as a tourist, to relax physically and mentally.

Of course, Tang Huan would definitely avoid the unstable places like the Yugoslav civil war.

Wherever the richest man went, he became the focus of local media's scrambling reports, which was even more beautiful than local tyrants such as the visit of the Saudi Arabian royal family.

As the saying goes, “seek benevolence to obtain benevolence, and seek wisdom to obtain wisdom.” These countries and regions that have just experienced a series of huge turbulences have experienced severe economic recession and the living standards of the people have declined significantly.

Take Bulgaria, where the richest man often patronizes the rose business, for example, the minimum living conditions of ordinary people have regressed by 40%.

The reason for this is indeed that there are some irresistible external variables, which have adverse effects.

For example, after the dissolution of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance established by the Soviet Union and similar to that of the European Community, Bulgaria's international trade model was inevitably changed.

The economic sanctions imposed by the United Nations on Yugoslavia and Iraq, two important trading partners, have also brought an impact that cannot be ignored on Bulgaria.

Even if there are no changes in the external environment, the establishment of a market economy cannot be established smoothly and suddenly by simply liberalizing private ownership - last year, Bulgaria's GDP only grew by 1.4%, but inflation reached 122%. .

Although the strength of the richest man is far inferior to that of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, he is generous and does not have so many strict preconditions. As long as he sends sincere friendship, he can invest and everyone can do business together.

After this circle, Tang Huan, who came to earn his reputation, couldn't help shaking his head and sighing sadly at the society where "men are willing to sell their lives and women are willing to sell themselves" under the pressure of survival.

However, this is a matter of other countries and other races, and it is enough for outsiders to be vigilant.

……

After finishing this series of itineraries, the richest man came to Switzerland, which is really relaxing.

Tang Huan came here this time because he wanted to chat with Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum, that is, the Davos Forum, and wanted to see if it was possible to set up a " Young Global Leaders" award.

It is not so easy to create a large platform for international exchanges like the World Economic Forum, which is supported by almost everyone. It requires the right time, location, people and other factors to do it. Tang Huan can't do it by himself.

Klaus Schwab, who was born in Ravensburg, Germany in 1938 and later joined the Swiss nationality, is naturally not an easy person.He successively obtained a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Fribourg in Switzerland, a Ph.D. in Engineering from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, and a Master's degree in Public Administration from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in the United States. He can speak fluent English, French, German and Italian. language.

In 1971, with the support of the European Commission and European industry associations, Klaus Schwab, then a professor of business policy at the University of Geneva in Switzerland, invited 444 business executives from Western European companies to hold the first meeting at the Davos Convention Center. A "European Management Symposium", hoping to introduce American business management practices to European companies.

As a result, the "European Management Forum" was established as a non-profit organization - every January, European business leaders will respond to the call and hold an annual meeting in Davos.

In 1973, with the collapse of the fixed exchange rate mechanism of the Bretton Woods system and the outbreak of the Fourth Middle East War, the focus of the Davos Forum annual meeting began to shift from business management to economic and social affairs.Political leaders were also invited to participate in the Davos Forum in January 1974 for the first time.

With the growing influence, in 1987, the official name of the Davos Forum was changed from "European Management Forum" to "World Economic Forum", hoping to broaden it into a platform capable of resolving international disputes.

Echoing this, political leaders have also begun to use the neutral platform of Davos Forum to resolve their differences.

For example, in 1988, Greece and Turkey signed the "Davos Declaration", making the two sides rein in the brink of war.

For another example, in 1992, South African President Frederic William de Klerk met with Nelson Mandela and Mangosuthu Butele for the first time that the three of them appeared at the same time outside of South Africa. .

Also, at the 1994 annual meeting, Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and PLO leader Yasser Arafat reached an agreement on the issues of Gaza and Jericho.

All the bosses are so self-conscious about "talking about things" at the Davos Forum, can the World Economic Forum become more and more popular!
Klaus Schwab developed a "stakeholder theory", that is, if business managers want to successfully manage a company, they need to consider the interests of all parties-not only the interests of shareholders, customers and consumers, but also Take into account the employees of the enterprise and the environment to which it belongs, including the government.

The richest man agrees with this very much-he visits around the world every year, isn't it just to expand his business kingdom.

During the conversation with Klaus Schwab, Tang Huan said with emotion: "After traveling so many places, I feel more and more that although everyone knows that 'development and progress' is the best, But in practice, due to various reasons, it is incredibly difficult.”

"Young people are the most active force to change the world - I want to use the influence of the World Economic Forum, within the framework of the World Economic Forum, to set up a foundation, to select outstanding people under the age of 40 around the world every year, As a global youth leader, promote the progress of human civilization."

Klaus Schwabrun laughed, "Don, you are directly excluding yourself from the scope."

"I..." Tang Huan rubbed his chin, "It's time for disobedience, no one can violate the laws of nature."

After a few jokes between the two, Klaus Schwab said with a clear attitude: "Don's proposal is very good-how to gather more resources and further actively exert the influence of the World Economic Forum has always been an important issue. Questions I've been thinking about."

Tang Huan nodded slightly when he heard this. He was also a real person.

After all, although the World Economic Forum has won the support of the global political and economic circles, it is a non-profit organization, and its economic support depends on the membership fees paid by foundation members.

And this member, not everyone is eligible to join, it must be an international company with an annual revenue of more than 50 billion US dollars, or a leader in the industry or region, and the future development of the industry and region , plays an important role.

In this way, the qualifiers who can cross this threshold, that is, about 1000 companies worldwide, are taking the most elite route-if the World Economic Forum really spends money without knowing it, it’s really not worth it. Let's talk about what happened.

The richest man simply took the check for US$100 million from his assistant and handed it to Klaus Schwab, "This is the start-up fund I donated to establish the Global Youth Leaders."

"Don is already prepared." Klaus Schwab accepted it with a smile.

The richest man smiled slightly, and then said: "Now the Internet is developing very rapidly, and it seems to have formed a new kind of media. I think it is better to let some sessions of the World Economic Forum annual meeting be broadcast live through the Internet to further expand our own. Influence."
