Chapter 1474 I Couldn’t Help It and I Didn’t Want to Help It
At the airport exit, many reporters had gathered. Today's lineup can be said to have captured all the mainstream financial media in China, including major newspapers with the prefix "China" and CCTV reporters.
They were actually quite helpless. Feng Yiping and Gain Capital have always been very rude to all media, including those from famous families.
But the helpless thing is that this guy and his company often broke some news that they were reluctant to report, such as Feng Yiping's identity as a Chinese and the richest man in Asia. In this year when we have no hope of winning the Nobel Prize, in this year when we are slowly growing and need more recognition from the outside world, it is undoubtedly a very encouraging thing. It is undoubtedly something everyone wants to see, which is the news they must follow up.
After making several appointments with Gain Capital's administrative department for exclusive interviews, and even expressing that it is okay to go to the United States for an exclusive interview, they had to do the work of squatting.
And they knew that this squatting might not get a word from Feng Yiping.
After all, the "third major discussion after the reform" in China has almost come to a conclusion. Private enterprises and their leaders are the targets of public condemnation.
At such a sensitive moment, as the leader of the most powerful and well-known private enterprise in China, Feng Yiping chose to remain silent, which is a very safe choice.
However, as we all know, Feng Yiping and his company are often unexpected and have always taken unconventional paths. What is even more rare is that these unusual paths in everyone's eyes have really been turned into a rainbow road by them. Perhaps today, this young and legendary richest man will have unexpected actions again?
As long as there is such a possibility, they must come to wait, and from the past, such a possibility still has a considerable probability of happening.
Since the person being waited for is Feng Yiping, everyone present today is naturally the top figure of their respective units, or at least the backbone. Compared with those impatient entertainment reporters, these financial reporters are much more stable. With such a large group of people, there is no need for the airport to maintain order.
Although there is competition among them, these financial journalists, even if they are not originally from the financial profession, have been exposed to the industry for many years, and their spontaneous learning and accumulation have made them generally have considerable literacy in finance.
They gathered together at this time to discuss the impact of rising crude oil prices on the development of the world economy, the "double deficit" problem, the drag on the growth of US GDP, the pressure of rebound in domestic fixed asset investment, and the pressure of inflation... and other very professional issues.
Because of this, these journalists are very appreciative of Feng Yiping's achievements.
Lenovo, a well-known domestic private enterprise, also announced its intention to acquire the computer business of IBM, a well-known American company, in the middle of this year. It is expected that this will also be a huge acquisition, but it is well known that the reason why IBM is willing to sell its personal PC business is because they have not developed well in this area and have been losing money for many years.
Although Lenovo's move not only acquired a high-end brand, but also greatly helped it to successfully enter the US market, even if this merger and acquisition can be successful, it is actually our company, which has spent a huge price and has become a non-performing asset divested by American high-tech companies. It may be a bit extreme to say that it is non-performing, but it is definitely not a buyer of high-quality assets.
Feng Yiping's first move is the US high-tech industry itself. Not to mention his successful projects in Silicon Valley, he has invested in Google and electronic map supplier NAVTEQ, acquired Netflix, which has close ties with the pillar industry and entertainment industry in the United States, and cooperated with world-renowned Microsoft and Amazon to develop cutting-edge new technologies. It is undoubtedly a higher level and more advanced means.
The main person in charge of all this is the same age as the people present when they just entered the workplace many years ago. This makes today's reporters have some expectations. In such a national discussion, will Feng Yiping make some remarks that they know but are not easy to make public, and some private enterprise leaders also know but dare not make public remarks at present?
Several senior and well-known reporters in the industry have seen the deep expectation in their companions' eyes.
There seemed to be some news coming from the front, and those who were responsible for setting up the machines quickly entered the state. The reporters who were a little idle just now also became active and started a round of tense but orderly qualifying battles. What made many people a little dissatisfied was that a young and handsome reporter wearing a custom-made suit with the logo of the industry leader on the microphone squeezed in front of all his peers in the industry without paying attention to others.
But those who were dissatisfied with this could only shake their heads. Although he had little experience and his style made everyone uncomfortable, who said he was lucky and was still popular at the moment?
…………
In the Mercedes-Benz, Xiang Xiaofang was still a little worried. Feng Yiping's last expression made her feel uneasy. Fu Yunning patted her hand, "Relax, he is indeed a little incompetent in some aspects, but in many aspects, especially when facing the media, he is definitely more experienced and means than you, a media professional,"
"But look at the way he listened to our advice at the end, it is clear that he didn't take it to heart at all,"
"After all, he is still young," said the younger Fu Yunning, "In fact, he just couldn't help it and said something, it doesn't matter. We should believe that our society is tolerant of young people like him, successful people like him, and geniuses with positive images like him."
Indeed, the public is still very tolerant of Feng Yiping and other representatives who have won honor for us.
At this time, Feng Yiping, who made the two girls very worried, had walked to the exit with two executives from the United States.
"What is this?" Drucker and Merbak looked in surprise at the passengers in front of them who were excited, glanced at them from time to time, and took the initiative to avoid both sides, as well as the reporters on the opposite side who were waiting in a fierce battle, and the flashes one after another.
Are these people all here to welcome Feng?
They finally have an intuitive understanding of the influence of this young boss in China.
Merbak's eldest son looked at this scene, and his eyes looking at Feng Yiping's back were a little fanatical. This is a real star, I want to be such a person in the future!
"Excuse me," Feng Yiping said to Drucker and Merback, "I didn't know there would be so many reporters to meet you at the airport this time. I hope it won't cause any trouble to you."
"How could that be?" Drucker said with a smile, "This is a great opportunity."
In the United States, from the president to ordinary people, everyone will be happy for such an opportunity to appear on camera.
Drucker and Merback were very tactful and fell behind Feng Yiping, and tried to walk along the side.
So, they still don't understand China's national conditions.
In China, at some sensitive times, appearing on camera more and talking more are not necessarily good things.
Feng Yiping, who liked such scenes at first, but later had some resistance, and now has gotten used to them, smiled and waved to the reporters from a distance, and waved to Zhou Xingyu and Wu Qian who were isolated on the periphery and could not squeeze in and could only jump up.
When he approached the exit, the financial reporters who had been orderly all the time not only calmed down, but also rushed to pass the microphone and recorder to Feng Yiping closer and closer.
Suddenly, at least hundreds of microphones surrounded Feng Yiping in the center, and hundreds of people asked questions eagerly at the same time. On the periphery of the crowd, some reporters who couldn't squeeze in jumped up and pressed the shutter of their cameras to shoot in the middle.
Feng Yiping could roughly hear some of the questions asked by the reporters, but he couldn't hear most of them clearly. Of course, whether he heard them clearly or not, he didn't respond. He waved his hands and said, "Thank you, thank you everyone!"
But he was still very polite. Under such circumstances, he kept smiling enthusiastically.
"Yiping," Zhou Xingyu and several burly security guards finally squeezed in, forming a small circle in the big circle, protecting Feng Yiping as he walked out.
Feng Yiping could probably only tell from Zhou Xingyu's mouth shape, "The car is waiting outside,"
He grabbed Zhou Xingyu's hand, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou,"
Zhou Xingyu stretched out his hand and turned on the microphone that had almost poked Feng Yiping's nose. The owner of the microphone was the popular host who had just made his colleagues a little uncomfortable.
He glanced at Zhou Xingyu coldly. Although Zhou Xingyu, a senior executive of Forex, was already a good interviewee for other colleagues, he didn't take it seriously at all. Only people like Feng Yiping were qualified for him to come to the front line in person.
However, Feng Yiping's current actions also made him quite dissatisfied. He had already asked five or six questions loudly, and his throat was a little dry, but Feng Yiping ignored and responded completely.
Watching Feng Yiping smiling and thanking everyone while following his subordinates to the car, he looked at the richest man who was younger and more eye-catching than himself, and his eyes became more and more unfriendly.
You just left like that?
Yes, you, Feng Yiping, are very powerful, but the people I have interviewed are even more powerful. I have interviewed more than one or two presidents, prime ministers and other heads of state of the G8 Group. Even they don't have such a big air in front of me. One by one, they are still arm in arm with me and call me brother. Compared with them, what are you, Feng Yiping?
Seeing Feng Yiping open the car door, let an old foreigner get on first, then smiled and thanked everyone, and was about to get on the car and leave. When his colleagues had given up, he jumped up and said loudly, "Mr. Feng, the reason why you don't respond to our questions is that you are like other private enterprise bosses, with original sin and can't explain your first pot of gold?"
The next moment, he saw Feng Yiping, who had turned around and was about to get on the car, paused for a moment, and then slowly turned around.
Haha, success, he succeeded in grabbing the news again!
Even if he knew that what he said just now was a bit extreme, isn't that what grabbing news is? Attracting the attention of the interviewee is the first priority.
"Yiping, Yiping, let's get on the car first," Zhou Xingyu advised.
Feng Yiping pushed his hand away, turned around and looked at the reporter who was a little arrogant and thought he was a standout, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"I am Deng Gao, the host of the financial channel," Deng Gao showed the microphone in his hand, and the mark on the microphone was also part of his pride.
"Hello, host Deng," Feng Yiping said politely, but his face was very serious. "Host Deng is so young, but he has become the creator of such a well-known column. It seems that he is really young and promising."
Deng Gao looked like he knew it without you telling him, but he didn't care. This was just a starting point and his future would be even higher. "Mr. Feng, may I ask you about..."
"Then, host Deng," Feng Yiping waved his hand to interrupt his question. It was not your turn to control the whole scene. "Why can you achieve such a hot position at such a young age? Is it your ability, or are you very appreciated by some people?"
"Hehe," Hearing Feng Yiping's words, many reporters who were ready to disperse laughed.
As they knew some inside information, they knew very well the inside story of how this host Deng rose to power and became popular.
The face of the host Deng also darkened. "All my current achievements are due to my hard work and ability, including this current job,"
"Oh, hard work and ability, then can you tell me how you work hard and what abilities you have?" Feng Yiping continued to ask.
"Sorry, I think this is my privacy, I don't need to tell you," the host Deng said very toughly.
"So, what makes you think that I must tell you how I got my first pot of gold? Hmm?" Feng Yiping looked at the proud host, his voice was still not loud, but the last "hmm" was dragged out for a long time.
The longer the "hmm" was dragged out, the greater the pressure the host felt. He couldn't help but want to take a few steps back.
What is it called to attack the enemy with his own spear? This is it!
This counterattack is beautiful! Many people said in their hearts.
In an instant, laughter and flashes rang out. Finally, the trip was worthwhile! Many people sighed.
This really has to be thanked to the self-satisfied host, haha!
Many photographers also took pictures of the hottest chicken in the financial news industry, who was holding the microphone with his hands clenched white, his face blue, his lips moving, but couldn't squeeze out a word.
"Mr. Zhou, notify the administrative department that I will be interviewed by various media in the company in an hour,"
"Thank you, Mr. Feng," many reporters shouted.
"Oh, by the way, except for this host Deng who got his current job through his own efforts and abilities," Feng Yiping added calmly.
