Chapter 2938 Shameless

The hearing site immediately "boomed", that is the discussion everywhere.

Cummins looked at Barney Frank on the stage in surprise, and turned sideways to discuss with the lawyer, how can this be?

Why don't you let us introduce first?

The reporters present were also surprised at this time, it started now?

And those Americans who were watching the live broadcast on C-SPAN TV at this time, as long as they were not watching the hearing for the first time, were also stunned, how could this be? This is too undignified!

Even the congressmen on the stage were a little puzzled at this time, just start directly?

Although the United States is a rogue country, it is still more particular in such occasions. According to convention, witnesses should be given at least 5 minutes to introduce or state.

Foreigners like Feng Yiping who came specially will be given more time at their discretion. Barney Frank's behavior is really unreasonable!

Or shameless.

Each committee of the U.S. Congress is allocated according to the proportion of seats of the two parties in Congress. Therefore, in the House Finance Committee, the ratio of Democratic and Republican members is also close to 3:2.

At this time, some Republicans almost objected. You are shameless, but we still have some.

In Wuli'ao, this hearing was also the hottest topic of all the night snack stalls and many couples' night talks.

At this time, even the primary school students in the town understood a fact, that is, the hearing in the United States is not a court!

Therefore, attending the hearing does not mean that their Feng Yiping did anything wrong in this matter. He just respects the US legislature.

At this time, those who used smartphones and watched the text live broadcast on the Internet always felt that something was wrong, because they all knew such a set of procedures. After the routine welcome of the hearing, the witness should have at least 5 minutes to speak.

They checked the timeline repeatedly. It was not that there was a problem with the live broadcast, but that Feng Yiping did not get the opportunity to speak at all. Oh my! Many people cursed out loud. Isn't this bullying?

Barney Frank could not feel the emotions of Feng Yiping's fellow villagers, but he did feel the atmosphere on the scene, especially the opposition and contempt of his peers on the stage.

But he still insisted on his own approach, as if he had really forgotten that there was such a convention.

I was also forced to do so, brother, he thought.

He knew Feng Yiping's ability very well. If he gave Feng Yiping at least 5 minutes to make his own statement, then the hearing might have to end after the statement, because there was no need for a hearing.

He was betting that Feng Yiping's side, mainly Feng Yiping, would not care too much about this.

Cummins was still discussing nervously with the lawyer, because this issue was not in their preparation.

But this issue was very tricky. After the previous publicity and popularization, everyone knew that Feng Yiping accepted the $5 billion from Madoff in order to preserve some people's property, but what if he just wanted revenge?

That would be very detrimental to his image.

So, although they had already set the rules, they could remain silent and not answer some questions - this was actually possible.

In the past, there were people who attended the hearing and kept silent throughout the whole process. The angry committee cited the speech and debate clause in the US Constitution and sentenced that guy to "contempt" and sent him to prison, but they were soon slapped in the face by the US Supreme Court: Congress has no right to make a "contempt" judgment.

You are a legislative body, don't steal our work.

Therefore, answering or not answering questions is the right of witnesses, which also leads to these hearings not being as rigorous as courts. For example, what Barney Frank said now is completely based on speculation. If it were in court, there would be no need to worry at all, because his questions would be protested back immediately.

But now, Barney Frank, as the chairman of the hearing, has raised this question in a shameless way similar to a sneak attack, so it is really difficult not to answer it.

They had just discussed the result, and Feng Yiping had already answered quickly in front, concisely and simply, "No!"

At this time, he would not look behind to ask for opinions, otherwise, it would be better to let the lawyer sit side by side with him.

Because he felt that if he consulted with the lawyer during the process of answering questions, it would always give others a feeling of trying to cover up something.

And such questions, like a lady asking you if you stole her underwear, must be answered without hesitation and in the negative.

If you talk about how mature and outstanding I am, how could a man with a girlfriend who is a thousand times prettier than you do such a thing... it will only weaken the credibility of your answer.

Barney Frank praised, saying that he handled it well, and he did not expect Feng Yiping to make a mistake in answering such questions, "Is it really not true?" He continued to ask.

The reason why he asked this question shamelessly and suddenly was that he hoped to set the tone for the entire hearing.

They found many experts, including behavioral and psychological experts, who analyzed Feng Yiping's motives for doing so - of course from a negative perspective. The experts finally concluded that it was not ruled out that Feng Yiping had such a motive.

"I think all of us will have a vengeful mentality towards those who try to deceive us when we encounter similar things, not to mention," he looked at Feng Yiping, "you are such a proud person,"

"A proud person like you, although he will not be fooled, should feel that Madoff coming to you is an insult to your intelligence and ability,"

In the work car outside, Ma Ling looked at the screen nervously.

Feng Yiping shook his head decisively, "Not at all."

This old guy is really quite capable, and he really guessed my original mental state.

Yes, Feng Yiping originally decided to trick Madoff because he had the mentality described by Barney Frank. He actually wanted to trick me?

What if I don't give you some color to see?

"I have some negative emotions about Madoff coming to me, but it's mainly disgust. Since he is so actively preparing to deceive people, why not use this energy and ability in areas that can get real rewards?"

"As for what you said about feeling insulted, I don't understand it at all. I don't mean what you said..." He paused, as if he had said the wrong thing.

"Yes, sometimes, I want to be proud, but I really can't find the opportunity to be proud. In Silicon Valley, anyone I look for will beat me technically. The code they wrote, to me, is "Book of Heaven,"

"So every time I think I can be proud, I will soon find out," he spread his hands, "I have nothing to be proud of. I am just a very lucky person."

Laughter rang out at the scene, and in front of many televisions.

This is good-natured laughter.

Although no one will believe everything Feng Yiping says, Feng Yiping's humble statement still makes people feel comfortable.

"At the same time, I have known for a long time that as a businessman, we must not act on impulse. Handling the relationship with other people well is the foundation for the smooth development of our business. If we frequently get into trouble with others, we will soon be unable to move forward."

"So actually, even the initial disgust dissipated very quickly,"

"Also, because of the subprime mortgage, there was really a lot of work that needed to be dealt with at that time. I really didn't have time to think about revenge, let alone take action."

Because of the previous foreshadowing, everyone can accept Feng Yiping's statement, but without the previous words, if he said that he was very busy and had many things to deal with, it would probably still arouse some people's resentment. I know you Niu, I know your time is precious... blah blah blah.

Feng Yiping's trip was mainly to gain goodwill, and he didn't want to attract bad luck at all.

Because of the previous foreshadowing, not only can everyone accept Feng Yiping's statement, but they also think, oh, it turns out that he is not easy either - this is also the reaction Feng Yiping expected.

Barney Frank's face looks a little ugly. You have fooled him with such a question. It seems that you have won a lot of favor?

He was about to ask his next question when a man next to him asked, "Why would someone like Madoff invest in you?"
