Chapter 2564: Indignation
During the torch relay in London, in the three previous stops abroad, those who had been trying to attack and interfere were the group that had fled to India. They gathered more people, launched larger demonstrations, and harassed patriotic overseas Chinese and students.
And throughout the whole process, they attacked the guard team many times, trying to snatch and extinguish the torch.
But our high-quality guard team successfully stopped them again and again.
Among those who attacked the guard team with those guys, there was a British man who stood out.
He attacked the guard team three times, but was successfully stopped by our guard team three times.
But later, in an interview with the British media, he actually said, "They (the guard team) tried to push me away three times. They were so terrible, and they didn't speak English... I think they were thugs."
He also said that other countries where the torch relay passed should "clear these guys."
Some members of the British Conservative Party did not think about why so many people would rush into the guard team that was only there to protect the safety of the Olympic flame under the "protection" of the London police. Instead, they asked the British government, "The question now is, who allowed these people to be present during the torch relay in London?"
And the British man who called the young man in our guard team a "thug" has several other identities.
He is a well-known British track and field athlete, known as the "King of Middle Distance Running", and has won two Olympic gold medals.
Because of his achievements in the Olympic arena and his efforts in the London Olympic bid process, he was made a baron by the British royal family.
He is a member of the British Conservative Party.
But what is particularly unacceptable to the domestic people is that he is also the chairman of the 2012 London Olympic Organizing Committee!
After seeing such news, many people's first feeling is unbelievable.
An athlete who became famous in the Olympics and the chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, such a person who benefited from the Olympics and should fully understand the Olympic spirit, actually teamed up with those thugs to attack the torch relay three times?
Is this actually true?
Moreover, he called the guards who stopped him "thugs"?
What kind of logic is this?
How can this not make people angry?
Then, some netizens dug up an interview he had given to our media before, in which he said righteously, "History tells me that sports events have always brought different interests closer, not further away. The Olympics is an event jointly participated by more than 200 countries, and some of these countries may not talk to each other in the political field, so I don't need anyone to teach me: the value of the Olympics must be reflected in struggle."
It's simply unbearable!
In fact, this guy who chose to go into politics after retiring should not have expected such a thing to happen.
Those words that fit his Olympic gold medalist and the chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee were said in an interview with our media, and those words that the guards "don't understand English" and "they are all thugs" were said in an interview with the British media.
He should want to have it both ways, but he ignored the power of the Internet, or he really didn't know how many people in China can speak English now, so they can understand his words.
In this process, most of the British media did not play any good role.
In the later reports, they still adopted the usual strategy of generalizing from a single case.
Whether it is pictures or videos, only the surging opponents can be seen. People who do not know the truth and are not at the scene will really feel that it is a situation where everyone is shouting and beating.
But in fact, there are more people who support and protect the torch relay.
A good torch relay, but there are so many moths. A large number of domestic netizens are furious at this time. Many of them want to run to London now, drag those guys who make trouble out, and give them a few slaps.
Really, sometimes, some anger is really hard to dispel with words.
And more netizens are worried that since it is so bad in London, what will happen in Paris and San Francisco next?
…………
At six in the morning, Demi, the female host of Fox News, climbed out of the bed in the hotel.
For her, today is a big day.
Considering the cooperation with News Corporation and the ratings of Fox News, Feng Yiping finally gave them the opportunity for this interview.
And Demi almost used all her connections to finally get this opportunity.
In the past two years, Feng Yiping's company has been developing better and better in the United States, but he himself has become more and more low-key.
Not to mention such an interview in front of the camera, he rarely accepts interviews from newspaper reporters.
But with the rapid growth of his wealth and the products of his company being liked by more and more people, his topic has become stronger and stronger.
This is mainly because of his age.
Many people are inspired by him, and many people regard his success as a representative of the success of young people, as a subversion of the old generation represented by the current richest man Buffett and Bill Gates who has retreated to the second place.
You know, what Americans like most is subversion, that is, overthrowing authority.
And Feng Yiping can be said to have helped them do this.
Feng Yiping's views on some major issues, such as the subprime mortgage problem that is currently facing, his accurate judgment also adds a lot of points to him.
After all, this problem, let alone Buffett and others, even the Federal Reserve, is not as clear as he is.
At the end of last year, Bernanke of the Federal Reserve, also a famous expert on the Great Depression, said that subprime mortgages were over when Feng Yiping said that the most difficult time had not yet come, and as a result, Bear Stearns collapsed.
A few days ago, Goldman Sachs's Lloyd said in an interview that Feng Yiping said that the most difficult time has not yet come, but in the past two days, Bernanke and many bank leaders have been vying to say that the subprime mortgage crisis has really passed.
Based on previous experience, many people are very worried about whether they will hear the news that Lehman or Merrill Lynch will go bankrupt next...
Of course, at that time, they may be happier, because that proves that Feng Yiping is right again.
But Demi is excited and a little nervous when she gets such an opportunity that all media people will envy.
Because everyone knows that Feng Yiping is not a good interviewee, which can be seen from his performance on Oprah.
If you are not well prepared, you may be embarrassed in a minute.
Demi also heard some rumors from her colleagues. It is said that Mr. Feng often took the initiative in interviews and criticized your carefully prepared questions in a few words.
So, when Demi got up early in the morning and reviewed the questions prepared by the team for her, she couldn't help but think, would this question be stupid in the eyes of Mr. Feng?
Would this one be?
And, how would he respond to this question, and how should I respond? ...
This was the first time she felt upset after a long time, watching the hands on her watch move, and it seemed that she didn't have enough time to prepare!
And she had to take a long time to do her styling next.
Because Mr. Feng not only didn't come to their studio, but also asked them to interview outdoors.
For such an interview outdoors, the lighting is naturally impossible to be as perfect as in the studio.
Therefore, when she got up, the technical team had already arrived at the designated interview location, the Chinese garden-style Chinese restaurant on the beach - it is also the most popular restaurant in Los Angeles at present, and installed various equipment that had been delivered yesterday.
At this time, Mantingfang was also very busy. After all, it would host such a large-scale banquet in the afternoon.
At this time, there were many people who were concerned about Mantingfang.
Spielberg, who felt a lot more relaxed because he resigned from the position of artistic consultant for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games and thus gained some support, felt a little uneasy when he got up in the morning.
He roughly guessed what Feng Yiping would do at the banquet in the afternoon, but he was still very uncertain.
Before this, he had no direct contact with Feng Yiping, but from his achievements and the fact that Disney had to compromise with him several times, he knew that Feng Yiping was not a simple person, and he instinctively felt that Feng Yiping might say or do something against him today.
Mia Farrow was in an even worse mood this morning. From yesterday to now, a piece of gossip had spread throughout Hollywood. Her home phone kept ringing, and all the calls were from people asking whether the rumor was true or not...
