Chapter 1726 Comparison

Feng Yiping was not aware of Bill Gates' actions at this time. He was indeed listening to Angelina Jolie's speech.

To be honest, this discussion was not peaceful, because the media who came in seemed not to care about what she said and just wanted to take more photos of her.

But Feng Yiping was a little moved when he heard it.

Later, even in China, there were too many celebrities with various titles of United Nations Ambassador. In other words, if you don’t have the title of United Nations Ambassador, you are not considered “smart”, or you are not top-notch or international enough.

Therefore, it is really difficult for a star who is more dazzling than his title to impress Feng Yiping with his title or a manuscript written by his assistant.

But now, before he participates in an event, he will naturally see some information briefings about the event he is about to participate in.

This morning, he saw Angelina Jolie before she became the Goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, as well as after she became the Goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations Refugee Agency.

Objectively speaking, she really treats this as a job.

She has visited refugee camps in more than a dozen countries around the world, paying attention to and calling everyone's attention to the tragic plight of refugees.

But this is just the beginning. She should be well aware of the huge difference between the refugee issue and other charity projects. In order to do a better job as an ambassador, she not only took the time to read a lot of information, but also taught herself about Knowledge of international law, economics, etc.

She called on the international community to make more diplomatic efforts, and also called on parties to the conflict to proceed from rationality and morality and protect the rights and interests of residents in conflict areas as much as possible.

Of course, she is not just talking about it. She has been focusing on refugee issues since 2001 and became a goodwill ambassador of the United Nations Refugee Agency. From sporadic donations at the beginning, she now donates one-third of her income to refugees. , the cumulative donation has reached nearly 100 million US dollars!

As of last year, she had adopted two children of refugee origin...

This fully shows that she understands the complexity of this issue and really wants to contribute to this issue.

Her behavior was in sharp contrast to that of some later domestic stars.

We are not belittling ourselves. Most of those in China regard charity and public welfare as unique fashion brands and accessories. The reason why they take on those jobs is probably just for personal image considerations.

Some of our celebrities who also have titles with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees will also fly first class to somewhere, surrounded by bodyguards and cameras, leaving behind sunny and inspirational or tragic and solemn photos, and publishing some quite touching posts. When attending some events, I shed tears before even saying a word.

But they don’t consider the real refugee problem at all, including the geographical relationships, cultural conflicts, historical evolution, future integration and many other factors involved. Instead of rationally exploring the essence of the matter, they just publish some very superficial and superficial remarks that cannot withstand scrutiny. Refreshing remarks.

Then, I can’t wait to develop myself in the direction of becoming a public intellectual and a citizen of the world...

To put it bluntly, it is just a show and self-importance. Therefore, in the end, their work will not only not have any positive promotion to the relevant fields, but will also have a counterproductive effect.

Compared with the star in front of me who spoke calmly about the refugee issue, that is another sense in which there is no harm if there is no comparison.

"... There are no shortcuts to peace and security. Only through arduous efforts can conflicts be ended. ... I want to say to all those who are still living in the refugee camps, your lives are closely related to mine,"

Julie ended her speech, and Feng Yiping did not listen to the next questions and quietly left the stage.

If you think pragmatically about how to change the world and make the world a better place, he now has several directions that he can work on and is working on.

"That meeting is not over yet. News has come out that Bill Gates donated US$750 million," Zheng Jiayi said when she saw him coming out.

After Kato's incident, everyone agreed that it was best for her to stay with Feng Yiping these two days to avoid similar incidents from happening again.

"Do you think it's a good thing that I didn't attend that meeting?" Feng Yiping asked, looking at her somewhat thankful expression.

"Yes, our boss Feng is also a man of the hour," Zheng Jiayi said.

"What a man of the hour," Feng Yiping shook his head.

The reason why Zheng Jiayi said this is because this morning, Switzerland's well-known "Neue Zurich Zeitung" and "24 Hours" newspapers reported on his speech yesterday.

Of course, it won't make the front page. You know, at yesterday's opening ceremony, there were speeches by the President of Switzerland, the President of France, and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

But Feng Yiping is the business leader who has received the most coverage besides these heads of state.

Because photos of the scene are attached, it is estimated that starting from today, if Feng Yiping has the idea of ​​traveling to Zurich with the United States, he will probably have to make some disguises.

"Do you think that if I participate, I will also donate money? How do you think that for such a big thing, those on the podium, including the organizers of the annual meeting, must have known about it in advance,"

"Otherwise, do you think Blair and the others would really care so little about their status, or do you think Bill Gates is so easy to handle?"

"Have you not noticed that the focus of his charitable foundation in recent years is vaccines. He not only donates money to buy vaccines, but also funds the development of new vaccines."

In fact, if we consider other factors, it is not surprising that Bill Gates, as the world's richest man and the chairman of this annual meeting, promised to donate $750 million at the meeting.

"Yes, you are right," Zheng Jiayi blushed.

Apart from Blair, the two current presidents and one former president on the stage would at least not force donations in public, and Bill Gates would not donate $750 million on impulse.

It can be said that before such a meeting begins, their team must have confirmed repeatedly what issues to discuss, and there will definitely be no issues beyond the scope, and no one will raise new issues.

These things, Zheng Jiayi can think clearly immediately after calming down and thinking about them, but because of Feng Yiping, her thoughts unconsciously turned.

"Tomorrow's Africa discussion meeting?" Feng Yiping asked.

He said that he would participate in a discussion meeting related to Africa, and he has already registered for one. The theme of that discussion meeting is about poverty in Africa.

"You will see the relevant briefing in the evening," Zheng Jiayi said.

"Okay," Feng Yiping raised his wrist to check his watch, but Zheng Jiayi looked behind Feng Yiping in surprise, "Yiping," she gestured behind him.

"What's wrong?" Feng Yiping turned around and saw that it was Angelina Jolie who had just come out of the venue, with a few people and a large group of reporters following behind her, walking quickly towards this side.

Could it be that she was looking for me?

She knew me?

She was really looking for him and really knew him. Angelina Jolie smiled and shook Feng Yiping's hand, "Mr. Feng, I'm sorry to bother you. I came here to express my gratitude to you for the platform you founded,"

The platform I founded, which platform? Oh, probably that one, "We are very honored,"

The media present didn't quite understand what they were talking about at this time, but their cameras were very excited. One was a popular Hollywood actress, and the other was a world-renowned emerging rich man and well-known scholar. In short, the meeting between these two people would definitely attract much attention.

Photographers kept shouting, "Look here, look here,"

The shot of their handshake was captured by many cameras at the same time.

Feng Yiping looked at the crowd that was gathering more and more, and gestured to the front, "Is it OK?"

Julie nodded, and followed him and walked forward slowly, "My account on Facebook about refugees has more than 200,000 followers,"

That's exactly what she said.

"I think, in the future, your account will have more fans, and I hope more people will pay attention to refugee issues. Thank you for everything you have done for refugee issues,"

Says Feng Yiping, now he is very good at it.

But he couldn't help thinking, thinking about it, she recognized him in the cafe yesterday, and he looked at her several times at that time, would she notice this?

If she noticed, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Zheng Jiayi, who was following Feng Yiping, wanted to remind him at this time that this was an opportunity that came to him, so he should talk about business.

Her worries were unnecessary. Feng Yiping has never been a fanatical fan. Although he was a little happy at this moment, he was very sober. "Our R&D team is always working hard. We hope that our Facebook can have more functions and can provide help for more things at more times."

Julie was quite cooperative and probably a little curious. "Can I ask which directions?"

"We are currently working in multiple directions. First of all, we hope to enable the function of reporting safety on our platform in the future. After our users sign in on the homepage, the application will automatically synchronize the information to the public page, and family and friends will receive reminders as soon as possible."

"We hope that there will be no such disasters in the future, but if there are, we hope that this function can provide some help to everyone."

"It's a good idea," Julie praised.

Feng Yiping couldn't help but look at her. In the early years, she was quite rebellious. I didn't expect that she would change so much now.

"This involves another problem. We know that after a natural disaster, the network will generally be interrupted. We hope to develop technical means to quickly deploy the network. It happens that Page of Google has a very good idea in this regard."

Good friends, you can also talk about it at this time.

"The final version of this feature is tentatively named Disaster Map. On the one hand, it can not only actively report safety, but also show the location of people's safe places after the disaster and inform rescuers,"

"On the other hand, this feature allows disaster victims to find rescue food, shelter, transportation and other forms of assistance,"

Feng Yiping originally hoped to disclose these words through Mike, Zuckerberg, and Sandberg, but he didn't expect that he would encounter the best opportunity.

Through his description, Julie immediately understood the function of this feature, which is to connect rescuers and disaster victims. "This is really a great idea. I think it will definitely change the way disaster rescue is done,"

The reporters around him immediately became excited, "Mr. Feng, when can this feature be launched?"

"We are still in the early stages of research and development. We hope to launch the function of reporting safety as soon as possible, and then improve it step by step. Ultimately, we will provide relevant services to governments and humanitarian organizations to improve our rescue efficiency when disasters occur," Feng Yiping was quite cooperative with such reporters.

"Technology can really change life," Julie said with a smile, "This is the first time I hope to visit Silicon Valley,"

"You are welcome to visit at any time," Feng Yiping said.

Zheng Jiayi handed over a business card at the right time.

"Thank you, I look forward to your launching more good products," Julie shook hands with him and said goodbye, and left.

However, many reporters gathered around Feng Yiping at this time, "Mr. Feng, will this function under development collect more user information?"

The reporter who asked this question obviously has a certain technical foundation.

Another reporter asked, "Mr. Feng, what do you think about the refugee problem in Darfur?"

Another question was about his speech yesterday, "Mr. Feng, are you sure that the Chinese economy will maintain a high growth trend in the future?"

At this time, Zheng Jiayi came in handy, "I'm sorry, we still need to go to the next discussion meeting, I will make an appointment with everyone for another interview,"

At this time, she and Feng Yiping were actually very happy.
