Chapter 2519 Falling

Objectively speaking, Americans can be regarded as the most difficult group of people to lead in the world.

Of course, they love their country, they love freedom, and they love their property.

In terms of the degree of love, these three things are in ascending order.

That is, if you touch his property and hinder his freedom, he will definitely not love his country at that time.

And they will have reasons. Why should I love a country that cannot protect the property of the people and hinders the freedom of the people?

So, as Feng Yiping said, after his remarks of "preparing to rescue Wall Street" were published, he was immediately criticized.

A more rational criticism is this: a Nobel Prize winner from Harvard Business School said, "Feng's starting point is certainly worthy of recognition, but if market participants speculate that the government will always intervene to rescue a collapsed institution, then these market participants will not conduct necessary analysis and review of the institution... This will undoubtedly not help the development and improvement of these institutions."

A less rational criticism is this: when Fox News connected with Donaldson, the chief economist of the United Auto Workers, the most influential labor union organization in the United States, the other party said, "We want to know, when Mr. Feng made such remarks, did he consider another issue? If Wall Street bankers fail in their adventures and lose money, the government will use taxpayers' funds to rescue them."

"Then, when they succeed in their adventures and make a lot of money, will they have Didn't they let taxpayers share the joy of their success? "

"Wait, let me check the relevant information," he lowered his head and looked up a few seconds later, "I found it, not once!"

"There's no need to check this, right? Because everyone knows that Wall Street only wants our money, never gives us money,"

"So, why would Mr. Feng, the most successful entrepreneur, a world-renowned young scholar, and a man who is always known for his thoughtful consideration, make such biased remarks?"

"Anyway, I think this must be the most exciting remark for those adventurers on Wall Street to hear at this time..."

Because there is no need to face the camera like on TV, or to sign like in newspapers, the relevant comments on the relatively freer Internet are undoubtedly more intense.

"Has Feng not yet adjusted to the time difference, so he forgot that he is in the United States, not China?"

"Perhaps similar things are common in China, but in the United States, which pursues a market economy, we do not have the option of letting the government rescue the market."

There are more direct personal attacks, "It can be seen that on key issues, the rich people in Silicon Valley who always claim to despise Wall Street are actually wearing the same pants as those parasites on Wall Street,"

"Feng is the representative!"

Of course, the freedom of the Internet is also reflected in the fact that if there are people who step on Feng Yiping, there will be people who support Feng Yiping.

"Regardless of whether Feng's remarks are correct or not, compared with the performance of other wealthy people who we have high hopes for, Feng at least came up with a specific plan for the current situation."

"Support the OP! Those who criticize Feng's suggestion, facing the current situation, do they have any better way? In any case, such a crisis can never be resolved by scolding people with a keyboard,"

"Support the above! How can a group of people who don't even know what subprime loans are and the social attributes of financial institutions be qualified to judge Feng's suggestions?"

"Top of the OP!"

"+1!"...

But what makes many people curious is that Capitol Hill, which has always been present on such hot issues, has collectively maintained a noble silence on Feng Yiping's remarks.

Even when the congressmen were asked such questions in person, they all smiled in unison.

At the end of last year, Feng Yiping easily instructed Musk to say a few words, which made half of Capitol Hill restless, and made House Speaker Pelosi, who scolded President Bush mercilessly, have to take the initiative to show goodwill. Few congressmen were unaware of this.

Of course, it would be a big joke to say that the politicians on Capitol Hill are afraid of Feng Yiping from now on.

If Capitol Hill could be dealt with so easily, the United States would not be the United States, and Bush Jr. would not be so depressed that he would always go on vacation.

Moreover, in many ways, if Feng Yiping is compared with many members on Capitol Hill, he is the one wearing shoes, while most members are barefoot.

The main reason why the members on Capitol Hill did not comment on Feng Yiping's words is that from the perspective of public opinion, supporting Feng Yiping's statement will obviously be detrimental to their support rate.

And opposing Feng Yiping's statement will be even more detrimental to their support rate.

Because, opposing Feng Yiping's statement at this time is equivalent to opposing Wall Street.

And how many of these guys on Capitol Hill have not received direct or indirect support from Wall Street?

This is also the reason why most Americans are stubborn. In my great country, ordinary people can understand what is going on at this time.

Although they smiled and said nothing, in fact, they supported Feng Yiping on this issue.

Because, at such a time, not opposing means supporting.

…………

The heated discussions on TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet caused by Feng Yiping's words have a direct consequence, which is that the relevant institutions have raised Feng Yiping's personal business value.

Although Feng Yiping's company has made a lot of moves recently, he has been very careful to put himself behind the scenes in the United States. For example, at the Android conference and the first appearance of the Open Handset Alliance, Rubin stood in the C position as the protagonist throughout the whole process.

Facebook has gradually pushed Zuckerberg and Sandberg to the front, YouTube and Netflix are Randolph and Hastings...

But because of a sentence, it has attracted such widespread attention, which has made many people once again experience Feng Yiping's influence.

In terms of such popularity, Feng Yiping has firmly ranked among the ranks of the most influential business leaders in the United States.

Therefore, although the public relations department has a lot of opinions about the boss's obviously controversial remarks without discussing with them, they still can't help but feel excited when they see the subsequent developments.

This means that their work has been upgraded from then on, and they are already serving the world's top business leaders.

This made them feel both headache and happiness when they were studying the public relations strategy.

Unsurprisingly, Feng Yiping's remarks also attracted the attention of the White House and the Treasury Department.

As the person who took charge of the overall economic situation around Bush, Paulson has been meeting with Bush these days, and there happened to be one today.

After seeing the relevant notice, Bush, who had always been serious, smiled and said, "Hank, shouldn't you thank Feng?"

Paulson looked at the specific report and was very happy even though he didn't laugh much recently. "It seems that we should all thank him."

According to the original plan, Paulson will give a speech to reporters at the National Press Club in three days, that is, on March 7, to explain the causes of subprime mortgages and the current situation.

If possible, he will also test everyone's opinions.

And a week later, on March 14, President Bush will be invited to give a speech at the New York Economic Club, which was founded by elites in the American industrial and commercial financial industry and can be said to be the most important public forum in the economic field in the United States.

In his speech, he will obviously also touch on related issues.

To rescue or not to rescue, as the head of state of the United States, he needs to make his opinion clear.

And Feng Yiping's remarks yesterday have undoubtedly paved the way for them.

Judging from the public's reaction to Feng Yiping's remarks, it is obviously difficult for them to make a clear statement in the near future that they will provide assistance to Wall Street.

However, the development of the situation will always exceed everyone's imagination.

Just when NEXTDOOR's public relations department was preparing to launch the attack plan, and just when Paulson and others felt that they knew what to do next, shortly after the market opened on March 5, almost everyone noticed a situation.

Following the decline the day before yesterday and yesterday, the stock price of Bear Stearns, one of the five major investment banks on Wall Street, is still falling slowly and firmly today!

Many people are worried.
