Chapter 1047 Do You Know You Offended Others?

As the name suggests, this gimmick of "100 People in the Times: The Most Important People of the Century" is a list of 100 important people in the 20th century compiled by Time magazine according to its own standards.

The plan was proposed as early as early February this year at a seminar held in Hanoukville, Funan Special Administrative Region. To be honest, it is not a matter of how creative it is.

After all, less than a year and a half left in this century, the social elites naturally had the urge to conduct various large-scale inventory.

In 100 years, it is not so easy to choose the number of important people around the world.

To this end, Time magazine organized a debate group including Dan Ruther, the anchor of CBS Evening News, historian Doris Keanes Goodwin, former New York Governor Mario Cuomo, Stanford University Provost Condolences Rice, publisher Irving Christo, and Time magazine executive editor Walter Isaacson, and others, to discuss candidate issues at the John Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the District of Columbia.

The entire list is divided into "leaders and revolutionaries" who influenced the political and social structure of the 20th century, "scientists and thinkers" who subverted old ideas, "entrepreneurs and giants" who changed the world, "artists and performers" who enriched our lives, and "artists and performers" who showed unparalleled courage, selflessness, enthusiasm, demeanor or "heroes and symbols of the times" of twenty people who surpassed the mortal abilities. There are a total of five major categories, each category group containing twenty candidates.

It must be pointed out that with the gradual release of the five major categories of "100 People in the Times: The Most Important People of this Century", there are endless voices of controversy and even criticism.

The first point is that this ranking is too centered on the United States and is not representative.

Time magazine's response did not hide the issue, and explained bluntly: Europeans did bring great innovations to high modernization, but when it comes to popular culture, this century, especially in the second half of the century, music that the whole world is listening to, movies that the whole world is watching, and fast food that the whole world is eating... are all American goods, or to a large extent, influenced by the United States. This century is the century that belongs to the United States.

Well, this is a fight between Europe and the United States, and it has nothing to do with others.

The second problem that has been criticized is the old problem of Time magazine, that is, it only depends on the influence of candidates, and does not consider factors such as morality, right and wrong.

For example, in the first announced "Leader and Revolutionary" category, Adolf Hitler, who was once named "The Legend of the Year of the Times", was joined again.

For example, in the "Entrepreneurs and Giants" category that just announced, Time magazine also joined the leader of the American Mafia, known as the "father of modern organized crime in the United States" on the grounds of "modernizing the mafia ~ party organization and shaping it into a country focusing on gray areas and smooth operation, crime ~ group".

At this moment, even Rudy Giuliani, the American Mafia, a base camp of the Party, and the current mayor of New York, could not help but publicly complain about Time magazine, "romanticizing the American Mafia, and criticized: "Time magazine's view of civilizing the Party is extremely absurd. You should know that in order to get his position, Charlie Luciano chose to kill others, and then authorized hundreds of murders."

Some Italian elites were also very dissatisfied, believing that Time magazine "continues the myth" against Italian-Americans.

Time magazine argued with a striking argument that Charlie Luciano was chosen because he was an "evil genius" and had a profound impact on the underground economic system. We are not showing off for these people, but telling about the people who have affected our lives.

While novelly flipping through the information of the "most important person" on the list with Tang Huan, my little cousin Meng Jing muttered: "Brother, you are with the Black Hand~ the boss of the Party..."

"Perhaps, this is the attitude towards history objectively and neutrally." The richest man smiled playfully and then joked: "It seems that although you have been in the United States for a long time, you have successfully resisted the erosion of capitalism's destruction of the three views."

Meng Jing's eyes turned to Zhuang Menghua, "Can you understand what my brother said just now, what does it mean?"

"What's the difficulty!" Zhuang Menghua cut, "What he meant is that no matter whether it is famous for a lifetime or a decadent devil, there is a place to stay in the United States, rather than to be erased until it disappears."

"Just this time, although the wise and powerful man, the richest man in Shenwu, caused many American speculators to fall into trouble in Xiangjiang, when they return to the United States, they will only win the winner."

Meng Jing covered her mouth and smiled, "You seem to be hinting that my brother is a kind of person who has been infatuated for thousands of years."

Zhuang Menghua rolled her eyes, "Not to mention that he has been famous in Xiangjiang forever. It is really possible that he has been infamous in the United States for thousands of years."

Tang Huan coughed lightly, interrupted the two girls' debate, and urged: "Did you have the report come out, hurry up and show it to me."

Zhuang Menghua turned the laptop to Tang Huan's direction and briefly reported: "As of the 'Great Miracle Day', we have made nearly HK$10 billion in profits, including futures indexes; the SAR government made less than HK$1 billion in profits on futures indexes; the situation of speculators is not clear, and conservatively estimated that the loss is more than HK$5 billion."

Tang Huan nodded slightly and ordered: "You have priority to deal with Bank of America's funds. I want to make its quarterly report truly beautiful."

"Are you going to take advantage of the gap that the American financial world was being pitted by the Russian financial crisis and let the Bank of America expand?" Zhuang Menghua frowned slightly, "Will it attract a rebound that thinks we are stretching our hands too long?"

"Aren't our already formed high-tech consortium being suppressed like the United States of America v Zheru Software Company monopoly case?" Tang Huan sneered slightly, "Then let's take the initiative in finance."

Zhuang Menghua thought for a while and nodded, "Then as you return to the United States, you will give Bank of America a return of $200 million, suppressing the previous doubts, including Warren Buffett."

"That's the best." Tang Huan smiled happily: "I really want to appreciate it. What expressions do they have when they see Bank of America make a big profit against the trend!"

At this time, Weng Jingjing, chairman of the board of directors of Phoenix Media, called to inquire, and Tang Huan was arranged to accept the interview.

"Then let's go tomorrow afternoon." The richest man shook his head helplessly.

Tang Huan originally didn't want to waste time in Xiangjiang, because the United States of America's monopoly case against Zheru Software Company, including the upcoming expansion of Bank of America, the United States is becoming increasingly unable to escape.

But as the big boss, he still couldn't resist the lobbying of the people beside him.

...

After a few days of interviews, although they were scheduled in the afternoon, various preparations such as lighting debugging began in the morning.

To this day, Phoenix Media has developed into the largest private media organization for the Chinese community around the world.

Since the radiation surface is so large, the interview like the richest man is naturally even more serious.

The person in charge of the interview was Wu Xiaoli, who belonged to the veteran employee recruited from Baodao when Phoenix TV was officially established in the early 1990s.

Before coming to Xiangjiang to develop, Wu Xiaoli was a reporter and anchor of Baodao Huashi News. As a result, she was attracted by Hu Yinmeng, a senior sister and alumnus of Fu Ren University, and she jumped without hesitation.

With his own ability, coupled with such a heavyweight "Bo Le" as his backing, Wu Xiaoli has developed smoothly in the Phoenix Media Department and achieved far more glorious than China Television.

At the press conference during the Chinese Two Sessions in mid-March this year, the newly appointed Premier Zhu said in front of everyone present, "Can you take care of Miss Wu Xiaoli of Phoenix TV? I like watching her radio very much." Then he gave Wu Xiaoli the opportunity to ask questions first, and Wu Xiaoli's name is therefore household name in China.

It can be said that in order to track the richest man’s itinerary in Xiangjiang and his final interview, Phoenix Media sent the strongest lineup of people.

Due to Hu Yinmeng's relationship, Wu Xiaoli was also considered a close confidant, and there was no need to resolve the restrained communication links. After a few conversations, the two parties turned to the topic.

The generous Wu Xiaoli first made a statement straight to the point, "Mr. Tang, some of the questions asked in this interview may be more sharp."

Tang Huan smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll try to tell the truth."

As she stated, Wu Xiaoli was very involved in the first question. "Mr. Tang, in the past few months this year, you have done two major things: one is to help Chinese refugees in Java and escape from danger; the other is to assist the Xiangjiang Special Administrative Region Government and resist the attacks of international speculators."

"No matter which one of this matter is extremely difficult and has a great risk."

"Can you tell me what kind of noble beliefs do you hold when you are involved in these things?"

Not to mention this kind of interview, I knew the problem in advance. Just relying on my authentic talent and quick thinking, the richest man could answer it in a mouthful.

He spoke very frankly: "I dare not be noble. My position and starting point are very simple. The former is based on an emotional driving force that is both Chinese and empathetic to unfortunate encounters; the latter is because Xiangjiang has too many commercial interests, and I cannot watch it be destroyed into rubble."

Wu Xiaoli asked curiously, "Have you ever thought that you would lose some benefits and offend some forces?"

"My habit of doing things is: after making a decision, I will not look back!" The richest man shrugged, "What's more, the efforts will be rewarded. Didn't I already get a lot?"

Wu Xiaoli smiled with understanding, "Does it also include the name of "Wanjia Biography"?"

Tang Huan showed a look of embarrassment in a rare manner, "It's really unbearable to praise."

"Then let's talk about the just-passed battle to defend the stock market of the Hong Kong stock market." Wu Xiaoli quickly switched the topic when she saw the opportunity. "The real version of "Great Miracle Day" you mentioned did indeed appear, and it also caused international speculators to fail miserably."

"But, the economy of Xiangjiang was finally seriously damaged by the Asian financial crisis."

"How long do you think the economy of Xiangjiang will take to recover?"

"I can't say this, but I believe it will be soon." Tang Huan pondered: "We have seen that China can stand firm in this Asian financial storm that ends with the 'Great Miracle Day' in Hong Kong."

"In the next few years, Xiangjiang's status as a bridgehead on the mainland will not change."

"And with the rise of the mainland economy, Xiangjiang quickly recovered its vitality, which is a natural thing."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan emphasized his tone, "We should see how valuable capital has been obtained after the return of Xiangjiang.

"Take the EU, which will be unified in the euro in a few months, why do those small Western European countries have to work hard to unite and form a huge EU?"

"Because countless experiences show that only by becoming bigger can one become stronger."

"In contrast, it's easy to get backed by the EU with the size of the same size as the EU."

"Jiang Jiang should cherish and treat such valuable capital well just for the long-term development of its own economy."

Wu Xiaoli flattered: "Mr. Tang has a gully in his chest. If you were asked to make a plan for Xiangjiang, what kind of blueprint should it be?"

Tang Huan was obviously interested in this topic and made another metaphor: "I don't know if you noticed that the San Francisco Bay Area, where Silicon Valley is located, has many similarities with the Pearl River Delta."

"If one day, the barriers in Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Macau, including transportation, communications, etc., are opened up, it is not impossible for an Eastern version of Silicon Valley to be nurtured."

...

Nowadays, the post-production of TV programs has fully adopted computer digital nonlinear systems.

Therefore, the interview of the richest man was edited out at the fastest speed and arranged to be on Phoenix TV.

As the saying goes, the winner is the king and the prince are the loser.

Tang Huan, who created the "Great Miracle Day" with his own hands, was not sure how many international speculators had buried. He was so wise and powerful that he immediately attracted a large number of viewers and sat around in front of the TV series.

However, the richest man was destined to have no time to appreciate his style. After accepting the exclusive interview, he quickly returned to the United States.

Bank of America, which has received 200 million US dollars in remuneration, immediately attracted a lot of praise: Yubaotang's richest man is much more reliable than Yubao's various hedge funds.

In order to make up for the previous distrust, Warren Buffett mysteriously pulled the richest man and asked with the initiative: "Dang, do you know that you offended someone?"
