135: Chapter 135 Attending the Meeting in Beijing

Although the struggle with Samsung in the Africa market was very intense, and the tug-of-war between the two sides went back and forth, Bai Jingqing did not go there in person, so he was not worrying about this matter every single moment.

He basically only provided guidance to the person in charge there at key time nodes; other than that, he just waited to hear the news coming from there.

In the country, he actually didn't have too many things to do.

Of course, he hadn't been idle during this time; on one hand, he continued to contribute to the company's construction, making the company's operations move toward a more formal path, and on the other hand, he was also paying attention to the domestic internet ecosystem.

In these short few months, he witnessed Panda Live go from its launch to becoming popular, to reaching the top of live streaming platforms, with even earlier starters like Maoya Live, Dou-sha Live, and Xingqiu Live being no match for it.

Besides the fact that Panda Live's interface was cleaner and had fewer ads, it was likely more related to Wang Sicong using astronomical prices to poach many famous big streamers from other platforms.

Coupled with many celebrities successively joining Panda Live and starting live streams at irregular times, it indeed attracted a large group of users from the entertainment industry.

He didn't have much hatred or grudge against Wang Sicong, but he knew that another major shareholder of Panda Live was Li Xiang Technology, and naturally, he couldn't stand to see Panda Live so flourishing.

"Since you, Wang Sicong, have picked the wrong side, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Bai Jingqing already had a strategy against Panda Live in his heart.

However, he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to launch another live streaming platform and then burn money regardless of the cost to go against them.

That was something only a fool would do.

If he really did that, he figured that in the future, there would be many people who thought he was easy to swindle coming to promote products to him; although he wasn't that easy to swindle, he figured he would be annoyed to death by these people at that time.

He first invested a large sum of money into Panda Live's rivals, Maoya Live and Dou-sha Live, acquiring a significant number of shares in both platforms.

Of course, despite this, he didn't have a say in either of these platforms; the largest shareholder of these two platforms was Tencent, and he didn't want to go against Tencent yet.

As for Xingqiu Live, he was a transmigrator from the future, so he naturally knew that Xingqiu Live had no future and would collapse on its own in a few years.

Just after finishing the investment, before he was ready to take the next step, another matter forced him to become busy.

With the recommendation and efforts of many leading officials in Shi City, he was nominated as a candidate for NPC Deputy.

Although he didn't have much of an addiction to being an official, after getting such an identity, it would be much easier to speak within the system in the future.

For people like them in business, from time to time there would be places where they needed to rely on people within the system; although he could talk to three ministers, he couldn't go to the ministers every time something happened, right?

After all, the Dragon Kingdom was still based on a society of human relationships; many things really required connections, otherwise, it was really hard to get things done.

Therefore, he also spared no effort to canvass for votes for himself.

At the same time, he wrote and submitted various materials, and through very formal channels, he finally successfully got elected as an NPC Deputy for Shi City.

This year's Two Sessions, he would also follow the Shi City NPC Deputy team to enter the capital to attend the meeting.

With such an important matter, he could only put other things on hand aside for now and wholeheartedly prepare for the upcoming Two Sessions.

Soon, the day arrived. Bai Jingqing, who was usually a bit unkempt, tidied himself up well during his time in the capital for the meeting, specifically hiring a makeup artist to apply light makeup for him, while also wearing a crisp suit and shiny pointed leather shoes.

When he appeared at the Great Hall, it also caused exclamations from many people.

After introductions from others, they also learned of Bai Jingqing's true identity, and one by one, they couldn't help but exclaim: "He is fucking handsome! Even compared to those big stars, he doesn't fall short at all!"

Participating in such a high-level meeting, they were certainly not allowed to wear heavy makeup, which led to some stars who usually looked very handsome and dashing appearing in official lenses looking a bit haggard and not as handsome.

Comparing them with Bai Jingqing, it highlighted even more that Bai Jingqing was full of energy and heroic.

Before the meeting started that day, there were also many people who came up to want to make friends with him.

Bai Jingqing refused no one, greeting these people with a smile and exchanging contact information.

You don't hit a smiling face; plus, maybe there would be times when he really needed them in the future. Those who came here were either very famous stars recognized by the authorities or some representatives with great prestige locally. His business spanned all over the country and even overseas, so he surely couldn't say when he might need to ask for help from others in the future.

This day also saw a joke: a big director who came to attend the meeting didn't know Bai Jingqing's identity at first, thinking he was just an ordinary NPC Deputy from some region. Seeing his outstanding image, he even wanted to recruit him to make a movie.

When he learned of his identity, he was shocked and apologized repeatedly, saying he had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai.

At first, he thought he had discovered a good talent, thought he would become this person's Bole, and thought he would be very grateful to him, so he couldn't help but have an arrogant attitude.

But after knowing Bai Jingqing's true identity, he quickly became humble, submissive, and greeted him with a smile.

Who hasn't heard of Huayao's big name now?

That was currently the absolute leader in the domestic mobile phone market.

Compared with these big capitalists, no matter how arrogant and domineering these big directors were on weekdays, they had to lower their heads in front of such big capitalists.

Soon the meeting started. According to the meeting's procedure, they first listened to the government work report and reviewed various files.

Bai Jingqing also very seriously put forward his own views and proposals to the conference.

Because of his full preparation, he spoke eloquently at the conference, attracting many people to look and nod in approval.

His proposal title was "Proposal on Accelerating the Popularization of 4G Networks and Building a Clear and Healthy Network Environment Together." It was certainly very appropriate for him to put forward this proposal, and the suggestions he gave also aroused the approval of the vast majority of people at the conference, and it was even written into the government work memorandum, indicating that this would be the focus for the next period of time.

After the various processes of the conference were completed, during the break, they came out of the Great Hall and were also interviewed by many media.

Bai Jingqing was absolutely in the limelight at today's conference. After all, being so young, so promising, with such an outstanding external image and extraordinary temperament, he naturally attracted a lot of media attention. Many media reporters saw him come out, immediately swarmed up, crowded in front of him, and wanted to interview him.
