Chapter 2647 I Just Want to Make Things Difficult for You
"A country has its own image, a city has its own style, and a generation has its own pursuits,"
"I always believe that the most attractive core of Paris, whether it is the capital of romance or the capital of shopping, is always the unremitting pursuit of freedom,"
"If we ignore the destruction of this core by some people while pursuing success, and let a unique city like Paris become lost in the crowd, or worse, become a place that makes people shake their heads when it is mentioned,"
"Then I don't know, is success under such circumstances considered a success?"
"Can success under such circumstances last?"
Looking at the different reactions on the faces of the audience below the stage - some were surprised Some are surprised, some are ashamed, some are thoughtful, and some do not take it seriously...
Feng Yiping said, "This involves another issue I want to discuss with you,"
"From my personal experience, if you just want to do a little bit, then you really don't have to worry too much, but if you want to make a big career," he paused, "even if you don't need to have the virtues of a saint, at least, if you only pursue wealth and don't care about other issues and don't take more social responsibilities, then,"
"I can say with certainty that you will not go far, even if you encounter a good opportunity, you will not be able to reach the top!" Feng Yiping said this conclusion almost word by word.
"Even if he reached a certain height by luck," he looked around the audience, "Believe me, he will not stay at that height for too long,"
"For such people, in our country, there is a saying, called the higher you climb, the harder you fall," - well, this is Feng Yiping's version of the Chinese saying.
Listening to the professors of the normal school around him talking and arguing, Albert lowered his head and took out his phone, "Delanoe, he mentioned us..."
In the Paris City Hall, Delanoe waved his hand to let the man and woman who were reporting to him leave his office immediately, and whispered, "What did he say?"
"He said..." Albert briefly summarized Feng Yiping's words.
Delanoe walked to the window angrily and looked at the street below.
At the beginning of last month, it was below that he made many opponents speak out, successfully making those Chinese guys lose the courage to show off here, and had to extinguish the torch and leave in a police car.
Under the attention of the whole world, how many people can have such an opportunity and courage to successfully fight against a powerful country?
I have done such things without hesitation, so why should I be afraid of this?
"Humph, it's just a speech on campus," he said.
"There were reporters throughout the whole process," Albert looked at the reporters beside the stage and behind him.
"Can those TV stations give such news a few seconds?" Delanoe still didn't care.
It's just that some TV stations want to show more clips of the scene. Do you think I won't put pressure on them?
After all, I have fought against such a big country.
"They also have their own photography team on the scene. Think about YouTube," Albert reminded.
Now, the tough Delanoe was temporarily speechless.
YouTube is Feng Yiping's own company and his own platform. As long as he wants, he can certainly put the whole process of the speech, and thoughtfully add French translation.
But, "So what?" he said.
In April, he did that because he had just been successfully re-elected in March, that is, he no longer had to worry about the election.
Because he knew very well that he could not serve three consecutive terms as the mayor of Paris like Bloomberg did as the mayor of New York. Two terms was the limit.
"Can he still incite those students to take to the streets and push me out of office?" Delanoe said.
His words left Albert speechless for a while.
Because you have already won the election and it is impossible for you to seek re-election, you can do whatever you want?
If this is the case, then wouldn't all the leaders of Western countries be able to let go of themselves in their second term?
Do you really think that parliament is a decoration?
Or do you think that those of us who follow you don't care about our future just like you?
He finally sighed silently and hung up the phone without saying a word.
It feels like this is not the time to discuss relevant issues with Delanoe.
Feng Yiping on the stage continued his speech, "... I want to say that what I said is not a blunt preaching, I believe everyone can see the connection between them,"
"Because if a person wants to achieve great success, it means that he must provide his products or services to the majority of people in the world,"
"Then can we imagine that a person who doesn't care about social justice at all, a person who doesn't care about social responsibility at all, can provide products or services that satisfy the majority of people in the world?"
The vast majority of people in the audience showed an approving expression at this time.
Feng Yiping's point of view is indeed worth scrutiny.
That is, from this perspective, Bill Gates now says that his main energy in the future will be focused on charity. As soon as technology upstarts like Feng Yiping emerge, they also launch their own charity projects, such as his free rice plan, large donations to tsunami-hit areas, the attempt to connect to the Internet in areas that are difficult to connect to the Internet through high-altitude hot air balloons, and the Tesla project launched because of concern about greenhouse gas emissions...
It is not because they are rich that they follow the trend to do these charities, but because they have such an understanding, they have become as successful and rich as they are now.
Think about it, if Bill Gates is an image of always being stingy, if Feng Yiping is also a person who only cares about his own extravagance and does not care about social responsibility at all, then their products, even if they will still be liked by many people, will definitely not be liked by as many people as they are now.
This really subverts some of the inherent ideas in these people's minds.
Many of them also thought further, as an intern civil servant, if we now selectively turn a blind eye to some problems, then in the future, can we reach a higher position on the road of civil servants...
On the stage, Yu Jie and the people around him looked at each other, and they saw the smiles and praise in each other's eyes, as well as relaxation.
Feng Yiping was able to use this method at this time to turn the topic back to entrepreneurship. His skill in speaking is really not to be underestimated.
And Feng Yiping chose to turn the topic back to entrepreneurship at this time, which also made them feel relaxed.
If we continue to talk about the topic just now, no one can say whether a large group of students will run to the city hall in indignation to protest after the speech.
Although they don't care about such things, France, Paris, demonstrations and protests, or even nationwide strikes, are a big deal?
But wouldn't it be better to be safe and sound without any problems?
In the Paris City Hall, Delanoe looked downstairs anxiously, and felt a dull pain in his right abdomen again.
What he said to Albert just now was naturally angry.
As a politician, how could he not care about public opinion?
Because public opinion is directly related to his image.
And image is related to his political life.
As the first left-wing socialist to serve as mayor of Paris (in the past 100 years, from the Paris Commune to his election in 2001, Paris had been controlled by right-wing parties), he naturally has greater ambitions in politics.
Yes, although he has no intention of seeking to be elected mayor of Paris for the third time, how could he not want to make an impact on national positions, such as the cabinet?
And for him personally, image is not only related to his political life, but also to his life.
One night in 2002, he was attending an event in the reception room of the city hall with hundreds of Parisians, and a 39-year-old programmer suddenly stabbed him in the right abdomen...
Although the assailant was stopped immediately and he was saved after emergency rescue, he is still a little terrified every time he thinks of that scene.
Will the students who listened to Feng Yiping's speech today suddenly become unhappy with me when I attend an event in the future? Or will the people who may watch his speech on YouTube suddenly become unhappy with me and use anything they have on them to hit me again? Will I be as lucky as last time?
Even if they don't use too violent means, if they have to worry about the coffee in the hands and shoes of the people present every time they attend a public event... How painful would that be?
Feng Yiping, why are you so hard on me?
