Chapter 956 Do You Know You Offended Someone?
As the name suggests, the gimmick of "Time 100: The Most Important People of This Century" is a list of [-] important people of the twentieth century compiled by Time magazine according to its own standards.

The plan was put forward at a seminar held in Hanouk City, Funan Special District as early as early February this year. To be honest, it is far from being creative.

After all, there is only less than a year and a half left in this century, and the social elites naturally have the urge to conduct various stocktaking.

In 100 years, how to choose important people around the world is really not that easy.

To this end, "Time" magazine organized CBS "CBS Evening News" anchor Dan Rather, historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, former New York Governor Mario Cuomo, Stanford University The debating team, including Provost Condoleezza Rice, publisher Irving Crystal, and Time magazine executive editor Walter Isaacson, discussed at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the District of Columbia, USA Candidates.

The entire list is divided into "leaders and revolutionaries" of 20 people who influenced the political and social structures of the 20th century, "scientists and thinkers" of [-] masters who subverted outdated ideas, and "entrepreneurship" of [-] innovators who changed the world. "The Great Masters and Giants", the "Artists and Entertainers" of twenty artistic pioneers who enriched our lives, and the "Heroes and Symbols of the Times" of [-] people who displayed unparalleled courage, selflessness, enthusiasm, grace or ability beyond ordinary people, a total of five Class groups, each class group contains [-] candidates.

It must be pointed out that with the gradual release of the five categories of "Time 100: The Most Important People of This Century", there are endless controversies and even criticisms.

The first point is that this ranking is too US-centric and not representative.

"Time" magazine's response did not hide the problem, and explained it straightforwardly: Europeans did bring great innovations to high modernization, but when it comes to popular culture, this century, especially the second half of the century, the world The music everyone is listening to, the movies the world is watching, the fast food the world is eating...all American, or to a large extent, influenced by America.This century is the century of 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 looks at the influence of candidates without considering factors such as morality and right and wrong.

For example, in the "Leader and Revolutionary" group that was first announced, Adolf Hitler, who was once named "Man of the Year" by "Time", was added again.

For another example, in the just-announced "Entrepreneurs and Giants" category, "Time" magazine "modernizes the mafia-party organization and shapes it into a country-criminal-group that focuses on gray areas and operates smoothly". Therefore, Charlie Luciano, the leader of the American Mafia and known as the "father of modern organized crime in the United States", was also added.

This time, even Rudy Giuliani, the current mayor of New York, a stronghold of the American Mafia Party, couldn’t help but openly complain about Time magazine, “romanticizing” the American Mafia Party, and criticized: "Time magazine's idea of ​​civilizing the Mafia is ridiculous. You know, Charlie Luciano chose to kill people to get his position, and then authorized hundreds of murders."

Some Italian elites are also very dissatisfied, thinking that "Time" magazine "perpetuates the myth" of Italian Americans.

"Time" magazine defended plausibly: 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 to name these people who have influenced our lives.

The little cousin Meng Jing curiously flipped through the information on the "most important person" on the list with Tang Huan, and muttered: "Brother, you are tied with the black hand ~ the boss of the party..."

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

Meng Jing turned her eyes to Zhuang Menghua, "Can you understand what my brother said just now, what these yin and yang words mean?"

"What's so difficult about this!" Zhuang Menghua cut it short, "What he means is that no matter whether it is immortal or notorious, there is a place for it in the United States, instead of being obliterated until it disappears."

"Like this time, the wise and mighty Mr. Richest Man made many American speculators stumble in Xiangjiang, but when he returns to the United States, the winner will be king."

Meng Jing covered her mouth and smiled: "You seem to be implying that my brother is the kind of person who will be infamy for thousands of years."

Zhuang Menghua rolled his eyes, "Not to mention, he has been famous in Xiangjiang for a long time. It is really possible to compare him with his infamous reputation in the United States."

Tang Huan coughed lightly, interrupted the debate between the two girls, and urged: "Is the report out, show me quickly."

Zhuang Menghua turned the laptop to Tang Huan's direction, and reported concisely: "As of the 'Great Miracle Day' campaign, including the futures index, we have made a profit of nearly 100 billion Hong Kong dollars; The profit was less than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars; the situation of the speculators is not clear, conservatively estimated that the loss is more than 50 billion Hong Kong dollars."

Tang Huan nodded slightly, and said: "You should give priority to the funds of the Bank of America, and I will make its quarterly report really beautiful."

"You want to let Bank of America expand while the American financial world is suffering from the Russian financial crisis?" Zhuang Menghua frowned slightly. "Will it lead to a backlash that thinks we have stretched our hands too far?"

"Isn't our established 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 terms of finance."

Zhuang Menghua thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then follow you back to the United States, and give the Bank of America a return of [-] million US dollars first, and suppress the previous voices of doubt including Warren Buffett."

"That would be the best." Tang Huan smiled happily: "I really want to see their expressions after seeing Bank of America bucking the trend and making a huge fortune!"

At this time, Weng Jingjing, chairman of the board of directors of Phoenix Media, called specifically to inquire about the arrangements for Tang Huan to accept an exclusive interview.

"Then tomorrow afternoon." The richest man shook his head resignedly.

Tang Huan originally didn't want to waste time here in Xiangjiang, because including the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company monopoly case that is being pushed forward layer by layer, and the Bank of America that is about to expand, the United States can be said to be more and more inseparable .

But he, the big boss, still couldn't stand up to the lobbying of the person next to him.

……

In the next day's interview, although it was scheduled for the afternoon, various preparatory work such as adjusting the lighting began in the morning.

Today, Phoenix Media has developed into the world's largest private media organization for the Chinese community.

Since the radiating surface is so large, interviews like Mr. Richest Man's are naturally more solemn.

The person in charge of the interview was Wu Xiaoli, who belonged to the veteran staff recruited from Baodao with the help of Hu Yinmeng when the Phoenix TV network was formally established in the early 90s.

Before coming to Xiangjiang to develop, Wu Xiaoli was a reporter and anchor of Baodao CTS News, but she was spotted by Hu Yinmeng, a senior sister and alumnus of Fu Jen Catholic University, and she quit the job without hesitation.

With her own ability, coupled with the backing of such a heavyweight "Bole", Wu Xiaoli developed smoothly in the Phoenix Media system, and her achievements were far more brilliant than those of China Vision.

It can be said that in order to track Mr. Richest's itinerary in Xiangjiang and the final interview, Phoenix Media sent the strongest team.

Because of Hu Yinmeng's relationship, Wu Xiaoli can be regarded as a confidant, so there is no need to resolve the rigid communication joints. After the two sides chatted for a few words, they turned to the main topic.

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

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

Sure enough, as Wu Xiaoli stated, the first question involves a lot, "Mr. Tang, in the past few months this year, you have done two major things: one is to help Javanese Chinese refugees escape from danger; the other It is to assist the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government to resist the attacks of international speculators."

"No matter which one of these two things, it is extremely difficult and risky."

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

Not to mention this kind of exclusive interview, knowing the questions in advance, and just relying on his genuine quick thinking, the richest man can answer them easily.

He said very frankly: "I don't dare to be noble. My standpoint and starting point are very simple. The former is based on a kind of emotional drive of being a Chinese compatriot who empathizes with the misfortune; the latter is because Xiangjiang has Too many commercial interests, I can't watch it being reduced to rubble."

Wu Xiaoli asked curiously, "Have you thought about losing some benefits and offending some forces?"

"My habit of doing things is: once I make a decision, I won't look forward and backward!" The richest man shrugged, "Besides, hard work will eventually pay off. Haven't I already gained a lot?"

Wu Xiaoli laughed knowingly, "Does that also include the title of 'Wan Jiasheng Buddha'?"

Tang Huan showed a rare look of embarrassment, "Such praise is really unbearable."

"Then let's talk about the defending battle of the Xiangjiang stock market that just passed." Wu Xiaoli quickly changed the topic, "The real version of the 'Great Miracle Day' you mentioned did appear, and it also caused the international speculators to fail miserably. return."

"It's just that Hong Kong's economy was severely damaged by the Asian financial turmoil after all."

"How long do you think Hong Kong's economy will have to wait to recover?"

"I'm not sure about this, but I believe it will be soon." Tang Huan said in a deep voice: "We have seen that in the Asian financial turmoil that ended with Xiangjiang's 'Miracle Day', China can be said to stand firm .”

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

"With the economic take-off in the Mainland, Xiangjiang's rapid recovery is a matter of course."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan emphasized his tone, "We should see how valuable capital the Xiangjiang has gained economically after the reunification."

"Take the European Union, which will unify its currency as the euro in a few months, why do those small developed countries in Western Europe go to great lengths to unite to form a huge European Union?"

"Because countless experiences have shown that only by becoming bigger can we become stronger."

"In contrast, Xiangjiang is backed by China, which is comparable in size to the European Union, and it is simply effortless."

"Just for the long-term development of its own economy, Xiangjiang should cherish and treat such precious capital well."

Wu Xiaoli complimented: "Mr. Tang has deep gaps in his chest. If you ask me 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 have noticed, but the San Francisco Bay Area, where Silicon Valley is located, has many similarities with the Pearl River Delta."

"If one day, the barriers between Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Macao, including transportation, communication, etc., are opened up, it is not impossible to give birth to an Eastern version of Silicon Valley."

……

The current post-production of TV programs has fully adopted the computer digital nonlinear system.

Therefore, the interview with Mr. Richest Man was edited as quickly as possible, and arranged to be posted on Phoenix TV.

As the saying goes, the winner is the prince and the loser is the bandit.

Tang Huan, who created the "Great Miracle Day" with his own hands and buried countless international speculators, is so wise and powerful. He immediately attracted a large number of viewers and sat around in front of the TV.

However, the richest man is doomed to have no time to appreciate his demeanor. After accepting the interview, he quickly returned to the United States.

Bank of America, which has simultaneously received [-] million U.S. dollars in remuneration, immediately attracted voices of admiration: Ya Bao Tang's richest man is much more reliable than Ya Bao's various hedge funds.

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