Chapter 2586 Good News

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Holman Square was in turmoil again.

With gongs and drums roaring, dragons and lions flying, hundreds of Chinese and overseas Chinese performed cheerful yangko and together with more than a dozen Fuwa dolls, warmly welcomed the torch's successful arrival at the end of the trip to the United States.

This time, the San Francisco Torch Relay was called the "Sustainable Journey". A total of 80 torchbearers completed the scheduled 6-kilometer relay.

As the US police invested more than 4,000 police personnel, especially the enthusiastic participation of overseas Chinese and international students in California, the entire process of the torch relay was very smooth.

The scale of protection during the torch relay is unprecedented.

There are police cars clearing the way in front, and police cars blocking the way behind. On both sides are police motorcycle teams and bicycle teams. The innermost torchbearers are surrounded by police officers in blue.

Outside the entire team, there were always hundreds of Chinese running with red flags.

They also used a relay method, guarding the torch one station at a time.

During this period, they effectively blocked several thugs who tried to forcefully collide and interfere. With their cooperation, the police arrested nearly ten thugs in total.

The chaos in London and Paris was not repeated during this torch relay.

International Olympic Committee Vice President Thomas Bach of Germany breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "I am satisfied with the conduct of the San Francisco torch relay. I think this is the spirit that the Olympic torch relay should express."

International Olympic Committee President Rogge also believed that San Francisco's torch relay was a huge improvement compared with London and Paris. He also said that the entire event was a joyful and peaceful celebration.

Domestic netizens who have been paying attention to this torch relay saw the relevant good news immediately on the morning of the 10th.

This time, the official media at the scene immediately released photos of the scene to the world. Everywhere the torch passed, there were overwhelming red flags.

The photos released by the Associated Press later were similar.

It is no longer the case on the 6th and 7th. After the torch relay ended, the media in London and Paris released photos that were very biased, with only opponents and no supporters.

Suddenly, the arrogance that netizens had felt over London and Paris in the past three days was wiped out.

This morning, the red flags filling the screen put countless netizens in a good mood.

And the good news is not just that. Australia, which has been following their mother country, the United Kingdom, attacking our Torch Guard members and clamoring not to allow them to enter, may be because of the actions of the American boss, and once again behaves like a lizard. Discoloration.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who can speak Mandarin and has a Chinese name, immediately announced to the media, "We are looking forward to the Olympic torch relay in Australia!"

And said, "I will be very happy to go to China and participate in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games,"

You know, this guy was like Spielberg before. Ugly people often make mischief. First he talked about it, then he criticized some of our policies, saying that he needed to think about it, and then he said that he might not come...

All in all, this is undoubtedly a victory.

While they were in a good mood, many netizens spontaneously carried out another activity. They hoped to find Feng Yiping in relevant photos and videos.

He did not appear on the rostrum of the opening and closing ceremonies and was not a torchbearer. Did he not participate?

Some international students who participated in the whole process in San Francisco also said that they did not see Feng Yiping at the scene.

Now, even our Olympic Committee Vice Chairman Jiang who spoke at the scene was implicated. At this time, why can't we not invite Feng Yiping?

If Vice Chairman Jiang knew this, he would definitely feel aggrieved. Why didn't we invite him? But he refused to go on stage and refused to attend the consulate’s celebration. What can we do?

…………

At ten o'clock in the evening, Huang Jingping gently opened the study door and saw Feng Yiping staring blankly at the computer. "What's wrong?" She touched the milk in the cup and it was cold.

"Oh," Feng Yiping turned around, "Aren't you asleep yet?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"Look at this," Feng Yiping pointed at the computer.

That was another successful project of theirs, the now famous question and answer website, Quora.

Feng Yiping was pointing to a question from an American user about the Olympics. He asked, why are there so many countries so enthusiastic about hosting the Olympics?

Among the people who answered below, it seems that there are quite a few who hold the same opinion as him.

"Is this an honor? Maybe, but not to that level."

Or, "Does this prove anything? We've done it, Canada has done it, even Mexico has done it,"

"Look at what Mexico is like now, so having hosted the Olympics, what does that prove?"

The rest are less serious ones like, "I know Montreal, Canada, will be left with a huge debt after hosting the Olympics."

"China has money now, so they are not afraid of debt..."

"You're not going to answer?" Huang Jingping asked.

Feng Yiping shook his head, "Forget it, such a question cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences."

The trend is that developed countries are indeed less enthusiastic about bidding to host the Olympics than before, because they have already hosted them, many of them more than once.

The United States, Britain, France, Germany, and Australia have all hosted at least two Summer Olympics.

Especially the United States, which has hosted three Summer Olympics and four Winter Olympics, so this is really too common for them.

The deeper reason is that they don't know our history at all. Without saying too much, the fact that we were the sick man of East Asia is enough.

Besides, hosting the Olympics is actually a huge political victory.

Whether it was the Olympics held by the Japanese in 1964 or the Olympics held by Germany in 1972, they were all a display of their post-World War II construction achievements.

The Seoul Olympics in 1988 greatly enhanced South Korea's international status and greatly promoted a series of breakthroughs in their diplomacy.

For us, on the 30th anniversary of reform and opening up, we have such an opportunity to change the people of many countries' understanding of us and update some of their inherent images of us in their minds, which will naturally make everyone feel happy.

But when the people who asked and answered the questions were born, the United States was already the most powerful country in the world. Whether it was politically, militarily, or economically, it was the world's boss. It has always been the time when they bullied others and no one bullied them.

How can we expect them to understand why we are so happy about the Olympics with just a few words?

Feng Yiping felt more and more that we really lacked a high-level organization, especially in external publicity. The Olympics was originally a good opportunity.

But looking at our publicity abroad, it was really too weak.

"You go to sleep, I'll go see Owen,"

Huang Jingping smiled, "Give him a big chicken leg as a reward?"

"It should be," Feng Yiping said.

Feng Yiping stood at the gate with two bottles of beer and waved to a camera opposite. After a while, Owen appeared in front of him.

"Here," Feng Yiping threw him a bottle, "Good job, man!"

Although Owen's move was a bit rogue, it was indeed brilliant.

Besides, what's the big deal about being a bit rogue against that group of bastards?

"Hey, thank you, boss," Owen smiled, "there won't be any sequelae,"

"The organizer of the rally has taken the initiative to surrender to the police station. The lawyer guarantees that there will never be too much trouble,"

"What is the attitude of the police?" Feng Yiping asked with interest.

"You know, the police's attitude is a bit ambiguous," Owen laughed.

Relatively speaking, the other group of people are now hated by everyone.

"Haha," Feng Yiping couldn't help laughing.

"Boss, thank you for giving me such an opportunity," Owen said.

Although he could only sympathize with his former comrades in mind, he was still happy to have such an opportunity to fight for their benefits.

Feng Yiping just touched him silently. It seems that no matter which country, the issue of veterans is always a difficult problem.

"This time I go back to China, you don't have to follow me, have a good rest,"

"This is my reward for you, huh?" He took out a mobile phone from his pocket, "Xiao Zuckerberg?"

"Feng," Zuckerberg didn't even say hello, and directly reported a good news to him, "I received reliable news from Twitter that they are currently planning to sell,"

"Swish," Feng Yiping couldn't help but whistle.
