Chapter 960
After hearing this, Feng Yiping, who had already expected it, felt nothing, but the audience was a little surprised. It is rare for Oprah to start with such a style. Could it be that she wants to change her style again today?
However, such a style sounds very confrontational? Oh, not bad, not bad, this is wonderful!
Both Merback and Buchanan, who were sitting in the audience, understood the meaning in each other's eyes, "It's as expected!"
However, the two of them were still a little bit worried. Even if they knew about this in advance, it would not be of great help. At most, they would have some psychological advantages when facing such a problem, so they would not panic.
Because even if you can guess that she will have such an action, it is impossible to guess her specific question, so it is impossible to have specific preparations.
And Oprah's words can be said to be full of malice, just like saying to the richest man in the horse, "I have never bought anything on Taobao,"
Said to the father-in-law, "Not only have I never bought your house, I have never even been to your mall,"
The other spectators off the field were all looking at Feng Yiping intently, wondering how he would respond, whether to confront him, or to calm things down?
On the stage, Feng Yiping was sitting upright, a little cautious, but he seemed to relax when he heard Oprah’s question, sitting on the back of the chair, facing Oprah, “That’s just right, I also No need to apologize to you,"
Oprah was taken aback, where is this?
"I've never seen The Oprah Show," he said.
Oprah was stunned, and Merback, Buchanan, and other audience members in the audience shouted "Good answer!"
Oprah's opening words were very blunt, and Feng Yiping's counterattack was equally tit-for-tat, and also sharply pointed at Oprah's vitals.
Such a reaction is in line with his status as a young richest man.
However, Oprah, who has been hosting the show for many years, naturally has a lot of skills. Seeing that she got burned, she immediately went back to make up for it, which also set up a second problem for Feng Yiping, "Actually, I am a member of NEXTDOOR. On the page of , there are too many members waiting for me to appear, so I seldom do activities,"
Feng Yiping laughed, "Of course, how could I not watch the Oprah show? It's just that I'm really busy with work, and when it's on air, I usually don't have time to watch it, and I watch the recorded shows."
Isn't it just to make this episode go on smoothly, to redeem what I said before? This one is simpler.
Oprah laughed, "Thank you!"
"I think everyone wants to know as much as I do, how did you come up with this idea?"
This is reciprocating, giving Feng Yiping a chance to promote for free.
"It's actually very simple. In July 2001, I reported to Stanford and started my one-year exchange career,"
"I remember that as soon as I settled down, many neighbors took the initiative to come to greet me. This should be a characteristic of the United States, I think,"
“This is how we welcome new neighbors, that is, you’ve never lived a day in a student residence?” Oprah interjected.
Such a privileged class would be hated anywhere, how could Feng Yiping be fooled?
"It can be said that, mainly because I already had a company in Silicon Valley at that time, and there were still many businesses in China. It was not easy to handle these jobs in the student dormitory,"
"But to be honest, I prefer to stay in the dormitory of the business school. You know, it is more convenient to study that way. Moreover, anyone who has been to Stanford should know that the dormitory of the Stanford business school has very good hardware, and,"
Feng Yiping paused for a moment, "You know, that's still the legendary cohabitation of men and women," he said with a smile.
There was a burst of laughter from the audience.
Oprah also laughed, "So, do you yearn for such a mixed-sex life?"
"At least it will be very novel. You have to know that I have actually been boarding at the school since the fifth grade of elementary school. Since then, until the university, our boys' dormitory and girls' dormitory have always been clearly separated. Now suddenly this boundary has disappeared. up,"
"When you open the door sleepily in the morning, you will find many girls passing by in the corridor, so the corridor is no longer full of sweaty smell like in the boys' dormitory before, but a pleasant fragrance floating around. would be like, oh man, this is a really fun thing to do,"
Everyone continued to laugh, and Oprah laughed and said, "Understood, understood,"
"Going back to your question at the beginning," Feng Yiping returned to the topic, "I was very moved by the greetings from those strangers in the community, but I was busy with homework and work at the same time, so the time really tight,"
"Oh, by the way, we know that Stanford Business School is all graduate students, and you are the first exchange student they accept as a third-year undergraduate student, right?"
Such details are actually not clear to the audience at the scene and in front of the TV, so this can be regarded as a kind of favor from her.
"Yes, because of my book "Blue Ocean Strategy" published in 2000, my exchange student application was honored to be approved by Stanford Business School,"
"Then let's continue the previous topic. For undergraduate students and postgraduate education, the pressure was really great at the beginning, so my time was really tight. I remember that I only held a party at home. Thank you My warm neighbors, at the same time, took that opportunity to get to know them, too,"
"But other than that, I really don't have time to be involved in the community, so I feel a little bit embarrassed," he said.
"You know, at that time, it was popular to move everything online. Whether it was a large company, a small business, or some other organization, they all had their own websites. Then I thought, if we move our community to the Internet , wouldn’t that be a good solution to this problem?”
"It just so happens that I have a software company in Silicon Valley. I told them my attention, and they all thought it was good, and that's how NEXTDOOR came into being."
"That's great," Oprah applauded. "I think other people must have discovered this need, but you were the first to think about how to solve it, and you solved it very well,"
"Thank you, maybe it's because I was considered a foreigner at the time, and I looked at things differently from other people who lived here for a long time,"
"And I think there must be a lot of people who are facing the same difficulties as me, so our promotion is also going smoothly,"
At this time, it is absolutely impossible to mention the role of the 911 incident in promoting their promotion.
"That is to say, your original intention was just to solve the problem that you usually don't have time to participate in community activities,"
"Yes, so from the beginning, we insisted on family as a unit, using our real identity to register on the website,"
"Cooperating with some government security agencies is a later thing?"
Oprah alluded to the impact of 9/11.
"Yes, then later, because of the terrorist attacks, relevant law enforcement agencies conducted investigations on many people. In many communities, there was a sense of uneasiness. Many people found that they did not know their neighbors well. , I feel that we can use the conditions in our hands to do something for the harmony of the community."
Talking about 9/11-related issues is easy to go wrong, so Oprah immediately changed the topic, "We know that you were an exchange student at Stanford Business School for a year, and even now, you have a lot of time to work in the United States. and life, then, in your opinion, is it better to live in the United States or in China?
This is the kind of multiple-choice question that Ao Hei mentioned that puts you in a dilemma.
If the answer is good in China, the domestic ones will be happy, but Americans will definitely not buy it, and it will affect the business of their own companies in the United States, which is perfectly normal.
If the answer is better in the United States, Feng Yiping can't even imagine the consequences.
"Because of economic development, in the past, some communities in China were not as well-equipped with facilities as in the United States, but with China's sustained and rapid development over the years, there is no big difference in terms of community facilities with the United States, so I think, Living in China is not much different from living in the United States,”
Of course, Feng Yiping couldn't be bothered by such a question, he cleverly made a replacement.
"And you also know, whether in China or in the United States, sometimes I can't make the decision, but the job makes the decision for me. Maybe tomorrow morning, I will rush back to China to deal with an important job, and then the day after tomorrow, because There is something happening here in the United States, and I will rush back soon."
Oprah now knows Feng Yiping very well, knowing that his success must not be due to accident, and also knowing that he will not be able to answer such an easy question well, so she decided to ask the question more sharply.
"Actually, what I want to ask is, do you prefer China or the United States? Red China, or the free and democratic America, whether it is work or life, which one do you prefer?"
This is an upgraded version of the question that allows you to ask questions left and right. If you dare to simply answer China or the United States, then the result will be to dig a hole and bury yourself firmly.
"I don't think this question is too rigorous." Feng Yiping felt that it was necessary to make a small defensive counterattack. "The people of our country like red, but the red you mentioned seems to have some other meaning?"
"Secondly, it is not only the United States that is free and democratic, but also China. I think everyone knows that our country is the People's Republic,"
"In addition, I want to point out that in more than 400 BC, when many places in the world were barren, the ancestors of our Chinese nation were thinking about the issue of democracy,"
"The issue of democracy was mentioned in the "Shangshu", which was written at that time,"
Feng Yiping stopped by to give them a popular science.
You should know that in English-speaking countries, the word democracy (Democracy) did not even exist, but was developed from another ancient civilization, Greece, a word demos from her.
"It may be undeniable, but it is now widely accepted that democracy is clearly faring better in the United States"
Feng Yiping really didn't want to discuss more on this issue, he didn't want people to label him.
"This is also where I feel a little strange. In our country, we have long advocated less doctrine and more practicality. Our country, from top to bottom, is striving to develop the economy better and to make life better for ourselves and our families. Good and hard work, why are some people still entangled in these problems?"
"We all know that there are many kinds of democratic systems, which reflect the characteristics of each country's political, social and cultural life. It is its basic principles that determine a democratic system, not a specific form. Which one is democratic? The best form of expression, at least not yet, has been decided,”
"In other words, the current democracies in various countries have different external manifestations, or in other words, these current forms have their own advantages and disadvantages,"
“In a democracy, citizens not only have rights but also have responsibilities to participate in the political system through which their rights and liberties are protected, as we do in our country and in the United States,”
"At the same time, we also know that the core content of democracy is tolerance and cooperation, rather than simple either-or, are you right?"
Feng Yiping attacked her shield with her spear again.
Under the stage, Merbak took the lead in applauding, and after a while, the applause rang out.
The audience at the scene were really satisfied with Feng Yiping's performance.
On the contrary, tonight's Oprah is a little abnormal, sometimes aggressive, unlike Feng Yiping, who has always been very gentle.
He never took the initiative to attack and provoke, but he responded well to some aggressive problems.
"But don't you think that in the United States, everything is good, and everyone is generally very satisfied with the things around them?" Oprah still hoped that Feng Yiping could make a clear statement on this matter, and simply raised this question directly.
