Chapter 2521 Inexplicable
When Sandberg came over with Summers, who was dressed in a suit, she saw Feng Yiping waiting in front of the building, and she immediately felt very proud.
It was not often that Feng Yiping waited in front of the building in advance like now.
She knew that the young boss was giving her face, "Feng, this is my mentor Lawrence Summers,"
"Welcome to your visit, Mr. Summers,"
"Feng, nice to meet you!" Summers shook hands very vigorously and his voice was not small.
Feng Yiping also noticed that this gentleman with gray hair and loose facial muscles had a very thick neck. Generally speaking, such people may have a bad temper.
I don't know if Sandberg was scolded to the point of being unable to raise her head when she was studying and working under him.
It is estimated that there was.
But this man is indeed a character.
If we talk about his family background, let's put it this way. Until now, or perhaps in a few decades, there will be no one in China with a family background like his.
His parents are both professors and economists - this is not surprising, but one of his uncles and one of his uncles won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1970 and 1972 respectively. It may take some time for such a family to appear in China.
Summers, who grew up in such a family, is also quite extraordinary.
He received a Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard University at the age of 27, and the next year, at the age of 28, he became the youngest tenured professor in Harvard's history.
At the age of 37, he served as Vice President and Chief Economist of the World Bank - with Sandberg at that time.
At the age of 39, he served as Deputy Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs, and at the age of 45, he served as Secretary of the Treasury during Clinton's tenure.
In 2001, at the age of 47, he returned to Harvard and served as President of Harvard University.
Judging from his resume, this guy is really destined to be a protagonist.
But the protagonist will also encounter some setbacks.
Originally, he could have worked for a few more years as the president of Harvard, but in January 2005, he said at an academic conference that "innate gender differences may be the reason why women have made few achievements in the field of science," which caused widespread controversy.
He apologized many times afterwards, but to little effect, so he announced his resignation as the president of Harvard in February 2006 and left on June 30 of that year.
But before announcing his resignation, at the end of 2005, he also hurried to marry a new wife at Harvard.
After that, he quickly became the general manager of the famous Wall Street fund company, D.E. Shaw Group. It is said that he only works one day a week, but his salary is so high that people are jealous.
Obviously, D.E. Shaw Group does not value his economic theory, but his relationship, especially political relationship.
So, whether in the United States or our country, people with background and connections will live a very easy life. Connections are resources, and resources are wealth!
Now he has also joined Obama's campaign team, responsible for assisting Obama in formulating economic policies - but Feng Yiping thinks he doesn't know his relationship with Obama.
"Feng, this is the best campus I've ever seen in Silicon Valley," Summers praised loudly.
"Thank you, please sit down,"
As soon as he sat down, Summers said loudly, "Oh Feng, I like your office, it's really tasteful,"
"Thank you," Feng Yiping couldn't help but look at Sandberg.
Is this how this person speaks? Like an aria.
Sandberg shook her head gently, she was also a little helpless.
As the elder whom she respected the most, when she saw her boss reused her, should she first express her gratitude to her boss on her behalf?
Feng Yiping was about to ask him why he came, but Summers spoke up, "Feng, although your suggestions are very pragmatic from the environment you grew up in and your judgment of the development of the situation, in the long run, such suggestions will still have an adverse impact on the development of the market,"
"I have always believed that those people, including Greenspan, should be responsible for the current bad situation, and if Wall Street is rescued, it is equivalent to helping them shirk their responsibilities."
Feng Yiping's first reaction at this time was to serve tea and send the guest away.
Although you didn't come to visit me on purpose, I was so generous to pick you up downstairs, and the result is to hear you criticize me?
He looked at the old guy, even if it was the current US Treasury Secretary in front of him, he would give face if he wanted to, and if he didn't want to, he didn't have to.
"Mr. Summers, I admire your achievements in the field of macroeconomics, but I think there is no need for us to debate this issue,"
Although Summers' academic achievements are not as high as his uncle and uncle, he has won more than one or two well-known American economics awards, otherwise he would not have become the chief economist of the World Bank and the president of Harvard.
In addition, he is so much older than Feng Yiping, and Feng Yiping's "admiration" of his academic achievements sounds quite impolite.
Sandberg looked at Feng Yiping nervously, she was worried that Feng Yiping would get angry the next moment.
Feng Yiping didn't look at her. When he said these words, he paid special attention to Summers' expression.
Judging from Summers' resume, even if his neck was as thick as his waist, he would not argue about these issues as soon as he saw him.
Because, a guy with that kind of resume must be very knowledgeable.
Moreover, a well-known economist, no matter what, will definitely care more about costs and returns.
Summers would never turn against him for no reason.
"Besides, I really don't have time to argue with you about this," Feng Yiping picked up the teacup and said another very rude word.
Who are you and why am I talking to you about this?
Sandberg on the side quickly said, "Feng, I'm sorry, Summers..."
Summers raised his hand to stop his protégé, "Feng, what do you think might happen next?"
Feng Yiping looked at Summers, who didn't feel angry after hearing what he said, but was more focused, and felt that there must be something wrong with it.
"Sorry, I have nothing to tell you about that,"
Why should I tell you?
Judgments at critical moments like this may lead to the entry or loss of large amounts of wealth.
"It seems that you still insist on the rescue policy," said Summers, who seemed to have a bad temper, but actually had a bad temper. He still didn't look angry at all.
"Feng, I want to tell you that, in fact, there are no differences between us. We both want to solve this crisis perfectly, but..."
"Because my research focuses on macro aspects, I will be more concerned about the long-term effects of doing so,"
Long-term effects?
"And for some reasons, I pay more attention to the handling of the later stages of the crisis,"
What to do after a crisis?
The phone on Feng Yiping's desk rang, and he stood up. Summers also stood up, "It seems you are really busy, so I won't disturb you."
What\the\f...you asked Sandberg to bring you here just to say these words?
Or, just to argue with me?
Inexplicable? This is!
However, since he was leaving, Feng Yiping naturally would not stay. "Sandberg, send Mr. Summers off for me,"
Sandberg's face looked a little ugly at this time. What's going on?
"Okay Feng,"
"Fon," Summers took the initiative to extend his hand again, "Thank you for giving Shirley such an opportunity. I believe that Shirley will achieve outstanding achievements under your command."
"No, I'm very grateful to Shirley for joining Facebook," Feng Yiping said.
The two masters and disciples must be looked at separately.
"I believe Shirley will also benefit greatly from this process," Summers continued. "Just look at Buchanan."
Buchanan?
"Okay Feng, thank you very much for your time. I think we will definitely meet again in the future," he smiled at Feng Yiping.
…………
In the driveway in front of the building, Sandberg, who had been silent when he came down, looked at Summers with a bad look on his face, "Summers, I want you to know that Feng is someone I respect very much,"
"I know, I know," Summers looked back at the small building and then at the park, "Don't worry, Feng won't have any objections to you because of this,"
Sandberg said nothing.
If you say no, then you won’t?
Summers looked at Sandberg with a lot of warmth, and smiled, "Feng understands,"
"And, Shirley, do you hope to return to Washington?" he asked.
