"Good evening, leaders, distinguished guests. Welcome to the second edition of the Aiwa Cup, Hua Xia's Top 10 IT Influencers. The list of nominees is still 50, and they are from different provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government, and special administrative regions … "
How to make an industry rise? Not only people must see the profits, but they must also see the fame.
Most people, or even everyone, will not be able to escape the shackles of fame and fortune. Some industries are profitable, but many people are not willing to do it. Some industries are respected, but many people are not willing to do it.
When an industry can bring you fame and profit, then more and more people will be engaged in this industry, and this industry will become more and more prosperous.
In the past, many people saw the IT industry was booming and profitable. Whether it is computers, networks, or software, they are all very profitable.
But many people did not see this industry being respected. You can brag to others that your son is in the software industry, and everyone is confused. What is software?
But since last year, everything had changed. Many people had seen these people on TV and CCTV. They even saw one of the top leaders of the country coming to present the awards. This was when they realized how important this industry was.
In Feng Yu's previous life, Hua Xia had such an award. It is to promote the development of this industry, and it is also to recognize the contributions of these people. Without these people, this industry will be monopolized by foreign countries.
In this life, Feng Yu was the first to suggest this award. He wants to integrate the IT industry into one industry. IT should not be separated into PC, software, internet, etc. These are all IT industries, and no one can do without each other.
Only by combining these effectively and forming an ecological industry circle, could all industries develop rapidly. If the hardware cannot keep up, the software will not work. If the software is good, but there is no internet, it will be a standalone PC. This will be a lot less fun. These are all complementary.
So, many people, especially the higher-ups, support Feng Yu's suggestion.
Technology is the number one productivity, and the higher-ups want to see Hua Xia's technology progress. Since these people had made achievements, they should be rewarded. Furthermore, they are not the ones paying for this award. Aiwa Electronics is sponsoring this award.
It wasn't easy to make a prize. First of all, you have to be able to get everyone to participate. If they come to participate, you have to reimburse them for their travel expenses, food, accommodation, and venue, right?
You also need to contact the media to report it, right? He couldn't possibly say that this award was just for fun in his own small circle.
The trophy had to be made. Even if it was a cheap, man-made crystal one, there had to be something to show for it, right? What expression? Bonus!
What? You're saying those people don't care about the prize money? Those who could become influential figures definitely did not lack money. They could use another method and donate a sum of money in their name.
So, Feng Yu asked Aiwa Electronics and Aiwa Home Appliances to sponsor Hua Xia's top 10 IT influencers and contacted CCTV to broadcast it live.
The higher-ups had agreed to this. They can't say that this award was given by the government and CCTV will not report about it. Besides, the leader also needed to show his face.
After CCTV participated in the coverage, Sina, Sohu, and other well-known websites also contributed by setting up a voting link.
Of course, they did not lose out. Sina's voting link page can also promote their Chairman, Wang Zhixi, and Sohu's Zhang Chaoyang.
Some mainstream newspapers, magazines, and other media also started to promote this award, including some overseas media.
Of course, the votes were in paper form, and they were sent by mail. The voting link on the internet was only to let people know about this award and how to vote. But even so, there was an accident with last year's voting results.
What accident? Someone had voted for someone who was not one of the 50 candidates. Should this vote be voided? Does this mean that they had missed out on some people?
But this year, there were some changes. The number of candidates was increased to 40, and if anyone objected, they can fill in 10 names and submit it.
This way, there will be more than 50 candidates, and it will be more difficult to count the votes.
But it doesn't matter. Feng Yu believes Liu Chuanzhi, Wang Zhixi, Li Yanhong, and the rest will still be in the top 10.
But this year, Feng Yu believes Ma Yun and Shi Yuzhu will have a high chance of winning. After all, they had made significant contributions to the IT industry.
After the host finished his opening speech, it was the leader's turn to give a speech. This year's leader's rank wasn't low either. He went off script and gave a speech. It was mainly about encouragement and gratitude. However, it made everyone feel more honored because this leader was representing the country.
The ancients said that not returning to one's hometown after becoming rich is like walking in the dark.
The leaders are the same. If they can't be recognized by their countrymen, they will feel like they are walking in the dark. We had become one of the world's best, and we had brought glory to our country!
"… This year, we have received a total of 263,583 valid votes from all over the country, including 27 overseas countries and regions. This shows that the influence of our award is growing, and we have a very high reputation internationally …"
Feng Yu twitched his lips. It's fine if we are well-known. What's with the word 'well-known'? But never mind. There's no need to expose them. As long as everyone is happy, it's fine. The leader walked up to the stage again.
"I will announce the winner of this year's Aiwa Cup Hua Xia Top 10 IT Influencers is Lei Jun, the CEO of Lenovo Kingsoft. Yang Lan, the Chairman of Hong Kong's Sunshine Online Television. Shi Yuzhu, the Chairman of Chinese Web and CEO of Rejection Network. Ma Yun, the Chairman and CEO of Alibaba Group. Li Yanhong, the Chairman and CEO of Baidu. Li Zekai, the Chairman and CEO of Pacific Century Group … "
Li Zekai looks at Feng Yu curiously. "How come I'm included?" No wonder Feng Yu had called him to attend this award ceremony. He thought Feng Yu had asked him to attend this ceremony. After all, Li Zekai is representing Hong Kong's IT industry.
"Why can't you be included? Everyone had chosen this award ceremony, and I promise you are not involved. Furthermore, Pacific Century Group is Hong Kong's IT technology representative, and it's normal for them to choose you. Hurry up and go up the stage to receive your award. The leader is not young, and it's impolite to let others wait. "
Feng Yu replied. I did not do anything behind the scenes, but the leader did. You are representing Hong Kong, and you had won many awards overseas. If you are not included in this award ceremony, it will show that there is something wrong with this award. Based on the number of votes, you are ranked 11th. After all, there are more votes in China. That's why the number 10 anti-virus software company had to give in.
