Chapter 1716: Can’t Get Through
From the performance of everyone at the scene, Feng Yiping's speech was undoubtedly very successful, so Kato was particularly hoping to interview him now.
Not interviewing Feng Yiping at this time, asking the questions he had carefully prepared, watching him change his face from excitement and complacency to bruises and reds because he couldn't answer, and from being witty and eloquent to hesitant and dodging at that time..., it would make him feel more accomplished.
For this young Chinese, for this Chinese who has swept the world, for this Chinese who has overshadowed all the young entrepreneurs in RB, for this Chinese who is widely welcomed in other parts of the world, Kato, like many of his compatriots, has very complicated feelings, to put it nicely.
In short, from their point of view, it is undoubtedly the right thing to step on people like China as soon as they come out.
He shouted very loudly and jumped up and raised his hand - because height is a problem.
His behavior was very individual in such an occasion, and it did not quite fit the civilized image that their country has carefully created in the Western world.
In fact, this is not surprising. In many international occasions, not only they, but also Korean journalists who have been colonized by them for many years and have been deeply influenced by them in many aspects are also like this.
In the journalist circle, the "seat grabbing culture" of Japanese and Korean journalists is a well-known thing. For example, their usual method is to ignore the arrangements of the organizers and arbitrarily put stickers on the best seats to reserve seats.
The meeting places in Davos are not large. His outrageous behavior naturally caught the eyes of the host, but it didn't matter. Ms. McKinnon ignored him. You have questions to ask, and I have questions to ask.
"Feng's speech was very wonderful, which can be seen from his repeated interruptions by everyone's applause. As a result, our discussion only has less than 5 minutes left,"
"So I have to ask a question quickly. In addition to the American model, China's economic development and future political evolution will be regarded as the second model. This model will become a model for developing countries to learn from. Feng, what do you think?" She asked by name.
"I think this question should be answered by our Director Pan," Feng Yiping said, "Director Pan, is it okay?"
Director Pan, the economist, had talked about this question before.
Feng Yiping is not one of those stars who survive on traffic later. He does not need to grab all the shots and always be the focus of the scene.
Director Pan also experienced Feng Yiping's charm today, "I am very happy,"
"We should see that the differences between China and the United States are first of all the population base. Compared with the 300 million people in the United States, 1.3 billion Chinese are really a huge group,"
"Our Prime Minister once said that a small problem, multiplied by 1.3 billion, will become a big problem. A large total, divided by 1.3 billion, will become a small number..."
This time, he discussed this issue from another angle.
In fact, Feng Yiping can give a positive answer to this question-although the argument may not be sufficient: the Chinese model is not only a model that developing countries should learn, but also in the future, just after 2008, it was also very popular in the West.
"Indeed, when evaluating China's problems, we must consider China's actual situation. Thank you for your wonderful sharing and everyone's participation. Our discussion today ends here," McKinnon said.
Is it over? How can this be? Kato shouted again, "Mr. Feng, I have a question,"
But his voice was drowned out again, "Extend it, extend it," many people were shouting at this time.
McKinnon, who had put down the microphone, was stunned for a moment and whispered to Feng Yiping and the other four, "What do you think?"
Such a situation made Zhu and others very happy. Similar discussions are held every year, but this time, the audience is so enthusiastic, of course, it's all because of Feng Yiping.
So the three of them first looked at Feng Yiping. There is no doubt that many of these guys who shouted extension are also coming for Feng Yiping.
Seeing Feng Yiping's attitude, Zhu immediately said, "Then extend it for another 15 minutes?"
"Okay,"
Sure enough, the next questions were all focused on Feng Yiping. First, it was an old acquaintance, Morgan Stanley Asia Honorary Chairman Walter Watson. The questions he asked were also the questions that many entrepreneurs present wanted to ask. First, there was Feng Yiping's acquisition of Netflix, and then Lenovo's acquisition of IBM. They wanted to understand the strategies of Chinese entrepreneurs in international acquisitions.
Then it was the president of Deloitte. He asked about the management of Chinese companies and how China, which is becoming increasingly powerful, can take on more international responsibilities.
Feng Yiping had prepared for the first two points. If he had prepared a question, it would not be a problem. His answer was very exciting. As for the last question, he gave it to our diplomat. We have to treat everyone equally!
After that, Kato, who was still trying to squeeze forward, could only watch Feng Yiping and the others walk into the backstage with laughter. How could this be?
…………
In front of Mr. Zhu and the others, Feng Yiping wiped his sweat with a smile, "This is really not easy,"
"Mr. Feng is really modest," the three of them were in a good mood now.
"I told Mr. Feng last night that no one can better represent the image of our country's young entrepreneurs than him," Mr. Zhu said, "Now it seems that I was wrong. No one can better represent the image of our country's entrepreneurs than him."
Pan Suo and his friends sat on the sofa in the narrow aisle backstage, drinking water in big gulps, and seemed extremely excited. "This is our most successful discussion, and it all depends on Mr. Feng's wonderful performance."
"No, you are too kind. I treated this meeting as an exam and made a lot of preparations for it. Unlike you who are experienced and can easily deal with any problem, they can handle it easily."
In fact, Mr. Zhu and the other three also made careful preparations. But Feng Yiping's words undoubtedly made them happy. "Mr. Feng got a high score again this time, just like all the previous exams."
"You have to be prepared. I think the mainstream media in Switzerland will definitely report it in the next two days."
…………
In fact, Feng Yiping is not the only one who passed the critical exam with a high score today.
In China, it was already afternoon. Liu Jizhong was standing excitedly in the parking lot, standing next to an Audi he had bought specially, and looking back at the provincial government building eagerly.
More than an hour before, accompanied by Vice Mayor Sun, he was in a conference room inside, reporting his ideas in detail to Senior Official Jin and a deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.
This was the first day in his life that Liu Jizhong received high attention from leaders of such a level. How many businessmen in the province could receive attention from leaders of the provincial party committee and government at the same time?
And he was very sure that this was definitely not his most glorious day.
Although the two leaders did not make a clear statement, Liu Jizhong could see that they valued and were optimistic about his plan.
However, if you want to get the support of the province, it is naturally not enough to report once. At least, you have to wait until the 36 articles are clearly issued. At least, you have to come up with a plan that can withstand scrutiny and is highly feasible.
The 36 articles will be issued soon. As for the plan, that is not a problem either. How to set up an airline and how to get the planes are not groundbreaking things. Liu Jizhong decided to start poaching people from various airlines before the Spring Festival.
"Remember, today is a big day," he said to Liu Jishan who was waiting in the car, "Let's go back to the company and set up a preparatory team immediately."
At this moment, Liu Jizhong was very high-spirited.
At this moment, he had seen his airline successfully established. With the establishment of the airline, his wealth and status also soared.
…………
It was not until the afternoon that Kato saw Feng Yiping from a distance again, but he had no way to get close.
This was the main hall of the Davos Forum, which was also the largest hall. At this time, the hall was crowded with people holding a glass of juice or a glass of red wine in their hands, gathering in groups of three or five, and discussing enthusiastically.
They were waiting for the arrival of French President Chirac.
Kato felt that this hall was really as noisy as some of the Chinese markets he had visited.
Maybe this is the reason why he felt weightless? He looked at Ono who came with him. Ono's sense of weightlessness was obviously stronger than his. At this time, looking at the crowd in the hall, they all looked demented.
Their sense of weightlessness was actually not related to the noisy on-site environment, but to the people present.
When frontline staff like them come into contact with so many world-renowned business leaders in a short period of time, they will inevitably have such a feeling.
Take the people standing with Feng Yiping at this time, including the president of Google, Murdoch, the boss of News Corporation, Soros, the operator of the Asian financial crisis, the president of Whirlpool, the head of Temasek Holdings, and the founder of Infosys...
And Feng Yiping, who was obviously the center of that circle of people at this time, was chatting with a bunch of famous people. He should have talked a lot today, and he drank orange juice from time to time. He was really comfortable.
His comfort and the lineup around him made Kato hesitate a little.
Not to mention that the influence of the Nikkei News Agency he was in could not be compared with those people over there, and the strength was also very different.
The operating income of Nikkei Group this year was probably more than 200 billion yen, which was more than 10 billion yuan, less than 2 billion US dollars, and it was estimated that it was only slightly stronger than Infosys.
When facing Feng Yiping alone, he could still risk his life, but facing so many giants, how could he have the courage to act presumptuously?
He decided that he would stop Feng Yiping as soon as he walked out of the hall this time.
At this time, the hall gradually became quiet. Forum Chairman Schwab had already walked onto the podium, but what was strange was that he was alone. Where was French President Chirac?
"Good afternoon, everyone. I'm sorry to inform you that due to work reasons, President Chirac cannot be present at the scene. He will communicate with you through TV."
The scene suddenly became a little agitated, and many people's disappointment was beyond words.
Feng Yiping was also a little disappointed. He only knew at this time what the huge curtain on the background wall behind the podium was used for.
But what's so difficult about seeing these leaders on TV? If you can't see his performance in person and can't see him communicate with people face to face, then what's the point of coming here?
Since it's a TV speech, wouldn't it be more accurate to watch the text version later than simultaneous interpretation?
It would be better to go to one more discussion meeting.
Seeing someone walking out, he took a few steps back, and then took a few more steps back. After a while, he left the hall.
As soon as he left the hall, before Owen could catch up, someone patted his shoulder, "Hi,"
He looked back and saw that it was Lao Ma, "I heard about your speech, it was great, I really regret not going with you,"
"If you want to listen, I can tell you anytime. This opportunity is so rare, it is naturally better to attend other discussions," Feng Yiping said.
"Today I have indeed gained a lot," Lao Ma looked around, "Let's go to the cafe in front and sit down and exchange ideas,"
"Great," Feng Yiping did hear a lot of new ideas that day, and he had to sort them out.
Kato was just coming out of the main venue with Ono at this time. He looked around for a while, quickly locked onto Feng Yiping, and shouted again, "Mr. Feng, Mr. Feng, I have a few questions,"
Owen looked back at them, Feng Yiping and Lao Ma, without even turning their heads, talked and laughed, and walked towards the cafe.
