v2 Chapter 1627： Dinner exchange meeting one

Stockholm City Hall; built in 1911 and taking 12 years to complete, is the most important work of Swedish architecture. The building faces the water on both sides, and a towering tower stands in a strong contrast with the podium that unfolds along the water. Coupled with the highly decorative longitudinal long windows, the whole building is like a sailing ship, magnificent.

There is a huge banquet hall in the city hall. The banquet hall is also known as the "Blue Hall". December 10th is Nobel's death day. On this day, after the Nobel Prize is awarded, the King and Queen of Sweden will be in the banquet hall; a grand banquet will be held for the Nobel Prize winners to express warm congratulations. Today, it has become the lifelong pursuit and goal of many experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine, economics, and literature in the world.

After the award ceremony, everyone moved to the political hall; as the host, the Swedish side must show the friendship of the landlord. Even many celebrities are invited every year, which is also a good opportunity for the guests to increase their contacts. To be able to win the Nobel Prize, it can be said that they are the elites of the society. Of course, the royal family wants to have a good relationship with it, and of course it also means to help domestic companies match up.

If any country or enterprise wants to become strong, of course, it needs the support of social elites. And Nobel Prize winners belong to the elite of the elite. Feel free to give some business, put forward some opinions; it will definitely benefit a lot. In particular, Nobel Prize winners in economics will be sought after by entrepreneurs.

In fact, it is easy to understand that although the Nobel Prize is mainly based on science and technology. But almost all science and engineering winners will be supported by universities, research institutions, and technology companies. That is to say, everyone has an owner. Otherwise, if one person develops it alone, it is estimated that he will not be recognized by the Nobel Review Committee. If a person wants to produce results, he cannot get any support; after entering modern society, it can be said that there is basically no chance.

Science and engineering research and development has high requirements for technical confidentiality. How can a dinner party understand other people's theories. Even if it is clear, it is useless, the patented technology has already been registered. If you want to obtain technical application, you still need the authorization of the other party.

Of course, if there is an opportunity, the enterprise just needs to use it; it is possible to discuss the issue of technical authorization, as for other aspects, it is not of great significance.

But the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics is definitely the person that every major entrepreneur in the world wants to invite desperately. Now that I come to Sweden, I have the opportunity to communicate in person, and of course I can't miss it.

Economists may not be very good at how to run a company. But the control of the economic direction and the establishment of the business model are definitely the most powerful existence on this star. Therefore, I want to make the company bigger, or the person in charge of domestic economic development and planning; I am very willing to chat with these people.

Even Nobel laureates in science and engineering are not so sought after at dinner parties. But there are still many scholars who hope to communicate with them; even if nothing is gained at the dinner, as long as it is to establish a relationship and gain friendship with each other; there is still a great opportunity for cooperation in the future.

This Nobel Prize dinner is even more special; Bao Zixuan, the richest man in the world and chairman of Heungkong Heiyun Group, attended in person. This allows many people to see an opportunity. As long as they are business people, who do not want to communicate with the richest man in Bao. Even scientific researchers, of course, hope to work in the Black Cloud Group.

Professor Solow's introduction made many researchers envious. The financial staff took the initiative to send you money, which was impossible in the original unit. I usually ask them to apply for project research funding, as if they were dying. On the other hand, the Black Cloud Group actually took the initiative to come to serve you, just because it was worried that the researchers were wasting their time. Bao Zixuan was born as an engineer. It can be said that he really cares about scientific researchers; there is no harm if there is no comparison.

As a new winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, I will never speak nonsense in the acceptance speech. I have heard before about how good the scientific research environment of Heiyun Group is, and it seems to be true now.

The richest man Bao didn’t know yet. It was precisely because of Solo’s remarks that most of the engineers and technicians who were hesitating before chose to join Heiyun; it was also considered unintentional. After hearing the news, I really wanted to give Lao Mao a pennant to express my gratitude.

At this moment, an old man appeared in front of Bao Zixuan and said with a smile, "Mr. Bao, I'm going to Ingvar Kamprad, I wonder if I can chat with you!"

Hearing this name, Bao Zixuan of course knew who the other party was.

Ingvar Kamprad was born on March 30, 1926 in Elmhalter, southern Sweden, the son of a farmer. Kamprad's childhood was carefree and the family was not short of money. But he is keen to ride a bicycle, sell goods to neighbors, and experience the joy of making money. He is good at discovering the needs of others and at promoting his own products.

In 1943, the young Kamprad established his own company with the help of his elders, named IKEA.

In 1953, Kamprad decided to give up all other business; specializing in the business of low-priced furniture, the IKEA era began. Kamprad also took a different approach, pioneering a way of doing business as a manufacturer and retailer.

In the early 1960s, when the concept of globalization was not yet in the minds of many people, Kamprad had taken the company's large design and went to Poland to find low-cost furniture manufacturers. Kamprad's trip to Poland gave birth to IKEA's first overseas production site.

But since 1976, Kamprad has moved to Switzerland, making a new home in a pretty village near Lausanne. Looking out from the window of Kamprad's villa, Lausanne in the shadow of the lake and mountains has a panoramic view. It stands to reason that I rarely go back to Sweden, so I came back on purpose today.

And just last year, Kamprad stepped down as president of IKEA to become a senior adviser to the company. His appearances at IKEA have since diminished considerably. He handed over the power of the company to his three sons, split the company's assets into three parts, and limited the sons' behavior to change the company to ensure that no child can shake the company's foundations. Of course, whenever the company has a major decision, his children still ask him to make up his mind.

IKEA is the world's leading furniture and home furnishing retailer; a harmonious collection of products that are diverse in function and style. It can be said that it is currently the world's first furniture brand, but there is no in-depth cooperation with Heiyun Group. But since people took the initiative to come to the door, the face that should be given should still be given.

In other words, the other party is also the richest man in Sweden; the future development of IKEA will be a giant in the field of furniture. They all belong to the category of super tycoons. Even if you don't know each other before, isn't it just a little bit of networking!

And for this, Bao's richest man himself is also very interested. As a young entrepreneurial leader in the world, Bao Zixuan did not start his own business until he was 19 years old. But Ingvar Kamprad was two years earlier than him, which means that the other party started his business at the age of 17 and established the IKEA brand.

At this age, the vast majority of children are in high school; not to mention that they do not understand anything, but at least their minds are not that mature.

That is to say, communication was not very developed at that time, and at the same time, the furniture industry was a traditional industry, and it was not particularly valued. In addition, the current old man was too old, otherwise he would definitely be sought after. Of course, it has a lot to do with me being very low-key. Maybe the Swedes themselves don't like to be public. UU Reading

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Kamprad, sorry I didn't recognize you! It is an honor to be invited by Your Excellency, of course there is no problem."

Respect is mutual, not to mention the other person is also super rich. It is an ordinary person who can participate in the Nobel Prize dinner; it also proves that his ability is not bad, so he can communicate directly.

At the same time, Bao Zixuan also knows that as his fame grows, his words and deeds will inevitably attract the attention of all walks of life. Even if there is impolite behavior, it is impossible for others to do anything to him. However, being reported by the media every day will also have a great impact on family members and employees.

And now there is the relationship of Fucaira, and the positive image is very important. At this moment, the words and deeds of the richest man Bao represent a company or even a country; if you want to win a higher international status in the future, you must first let go of your body. Maybe others don't feel so comfortable in life; but people can't help themselves when they are in the rivers and lakes.

And it's just respect for friends and partners, but it's not going to be on the line; it's too useless to say anything!
