Chapter 700: Don't Keep Thinking About Going
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? The two students from Seoul and Stanford University haven't gone up to give a speech yet, don't go, stay here for a while, this is the minimum respect, people come from afar to be guests, and basic politeness should be there. He Wenxiang said to Su Xing.
"It also depends on who you are right for, some people respect you, and you are not wrong to be polite to him, but there are people you respect him, he does not respect you, and you are polite to him, which is called weakness. "Awakening does not have He Wenxiang's feelings.
Respect the person who should respect it, and don't be too respectful of that kind of person, it's not a good thing.
Historically, China has been too respectful of some people in some countries, because some face-saving problems have led to some very unfair treatments, especially for the people in China.
Emperor Yang of Sui is the best example, very cruel to the people in the country, without the slightest sympathy, but there are foreign envoys to pay tribute, Emperor Yang of Sui's attitude changed at once, people sent him a little local products, he in order to show the etiquette of the great country, the demeanor of the great country, for the so-called face, the gifts sent back are innumerable, gold and silver jewelry, soft treasures, so that the foreign envoys can't close their mouths, the whole Chang'an City is dressed up in luxury, the trees are wrapped in silk, the ground is spread with blankets, foreign envoys go to the people's shops to eat, to buy things, all for freeγ
A typical person with a swollen face and a fat man, the lives of the common people are not guaranteed, and in order to let the foreign envoys praise him a few words, he will damage the interests of the people and satisfy his vanity.
In fact, not only Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is like this, only because he died of the country, so he will be criticized so much, and some other emperors of previous dynasties are the same, when he has a good face abroad, he likes to listen to good words, he likes to listen to others praise him, others praise him a sentence or two, send some local products, and he will give gifts back ten times and a hundred times.
These gifts are all people's fat and people's ointment, I didn't want to relieve the people in the country, but I wanted to give them to others, and then listen to a compliment or two, like friends, and it's right to be hospitable, but the family is poor and the family is surrounded by walls, and their relatives have no food to eat, and they also want to give their friends big fish and meat, just to listen to the praise of friends, which is a bit cruel.
"It's just an exchange between a few schools, and it's not as profound as you think, and it's not as complicated as you say. He Wenxiang said to Su Xing, "Sit down for a while, aren't you also practicing English? It just so happens that people go up to give speeches in English, and you can also listen to them and see how authentic English is different from what you learned in China." β
Su Xing thought about it, nodded and sat down.
On the one hand, the reason for agreeing to He Wenxiang to come over to give a speech is that he wants to cooperate with Peking University, rely on Peking University to provide a steady stream of talents, as well as scientific research opportunities, and promote the development of his own enterprises.
This speech will certainly not have much impact, it will not change the course of history very much, but as long as it changes a little bit, it will help some people.
Looking at an event in history from the perspective of hindsight, I feel that this matter is very simple, but if you are in the attitude of the parties, when faced with a choice, it is difficult to grasp whether it is left or right, front or back.
In those dynasties in history, when faced with a choice, the king often chose the advice given to him by the traitorous minister, but ignored the advice of the loyalty, and finally led to the death of the country.
So the descendants couldn't stop sighing, scolding the faint king, favoring the traitorous ministers, and brutalizing the loyal and good. But if he was in the position of the king at that time, who was a traitor and who was a loyal minister, whose opinion was helpful to the country and whose opinion was not, he should not know, after all, no king wanted his country to be replaced, and he would still implement it if he was sure that this opinion was harmful to the country.
When the loyal ministers put forward their opinions, they will definitely say that if they follow my opinion, the country will be stable, and the society will be able to last for a long time, which is no doubt, but when the traitorous ministers put forward their opinions, will they say that if the emperor listens to my opinion, the country will collapse immediately, and the society will be unstable?
It's impossible, the traitor must have said the same thing as the loyal minister when he gave his opinion.
Su Xing felt that there was a saying that was very correct, Maxima often has, but Bole did not often have it.
There are so many people, there is always one person who puts forward an opinion that is conducive to development, and it is not difficult to put forward opinions, but it is rare to choose whose opinion to implement.
Thinking a little far, I woke up a little distracted.
"Don't keep thinking about leaving, look around, there are reporters everywhere, you just finished your speech and left, being photographed by someone else, it's not good after all, listen to it again, it won't take long, at most an hour, I just happen to have something I want to talk to you about,. He Wenxiang said to Su Xing.
Su Xing looked left and right, and there were indeed many reporters in the hall.
The second speaker has already taken the stage, and it is really not good to go again at this time.
"Dean He, what do you have to say to me?" Su Xing said to He Wenxiang.
The second person on stage was a student from Seoul National University, a male student, who gave a speech in English, and he was not interested in waking up after listening to a few words, and this guy went up to brag.
Boasting about the South Korean economy, saying that South Korea can develop into its current scale in a few decades, and that it is about to enter the list of developed countries, how powerful our people are, how good our policies are, how good our people are, how good our policies are, that we are an excellent nation, and that the future development of Asia will mainly depend on South Korea.
Shamelessly, palm-sized countries also want to represent Asia.
It's just an agent of Lao Mei in Asia.
He blew vigorously above, and woke up to chat with He Wenxiang below.
"What you just said about the global financial crisis will break out within 5 years, is it just a description of words, is there any specific data to support it?" He Wenxiang was more concerned about what Su Xing just said, and wanted to discuss it in more detail.
"Nope. Su Xing shook his head, "I just made a little prediction, and I can't say what will happen in the end." β
"There must be traces to make predictions, like it is like rain in the sky, there will definitely be signs before, the weather is hot and humid, and people are overwhelmed, or there are more dragonflies, or swallows are flying close to the ground to feed, and the same should be true economically. He Wenxiang said, "You just said that the regulation of US financial institutions is relatively lax, and the lack of effective management of the financial market will lead to a crisis.
There is definitely no data to support him, he only likes to watch, and he doesn't like to do statistical things, these are the things that theoretical scholars do, and the reason why he can come to such a conclusion is just because of the results.
But He Wenxiang asked, he could still say something.
