Chapter Ninety-Four

Hearing this, Feng Yiping, who had already expected it, felt nothing, but the audience at the scene was a little surprised, Oprah opened in such a style, it is rare, is it possible, she has to change her style again today?

However, this style sounds very confrontational? hehe, yes, yes, that's wonderful!

Merbuck and Buchanan, who were sitting in the audience, both understood the meaning in each other's eyes, "As expected!"

However, they are still a little worried, even if they know in advance, it can't actually bring any great help, at most, when facing such a problem, they have some psychological advantages and won't panic.

Because even if you can guess that she will do this, it is impossible to guess her specific problem, and thus 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 Ma, "I have never bought anything on Taobao,"

said to the national father-in-law, "Not only have I never bought your house, but I haven't even visited your shopping mall,"

The other spectators in the audience will all look at Feng Yiping intently, wondering how he will respond, whether it is-for-tat, or calm?

On the stage, Feng Yiping was still sitting upright, a little restrained, listening to Oprah's question, as if he was relaxed, sitting on the back of the chair, facing Oprah's side, "That's just right, I don't have to apologize to you,"

Oprah was stunned, where is this?

He said, "The Oprah show, I've never seen it before,"

Oprah was stunned, and the audience members of Murbach and Buchanan, as well as the rest of the audience, secretly exclaimed, "Good answer!"

Oprah's words were very polite, Feng Yiping's counterattack was also-for-tat, and it was also sharp and pointed at Oprah's vital point.

Such a reaction is very much in line with his identity as the richest young man like him.

However, Oprah, who has hosted the show for many years, is naturally not capped, and when he saw that some of them were burned, he immediately went back to make up for it, and also laid a second problem for Feng Yiping, "Actually, I'm a member of NEXTDOOR, but you know, on my page, there are too many members waiting for me to appear, so I rarely move,"

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 broadcast, I usually don't have time to watch it, and I watch all the recorded programs,"

Isn't it just to make this episode go smoothly and to redeem what I said before?

Oprah smiled, "Thank you!"

"I think everyone wants to know, as much as I do, how did you come up with this idea?"

This is to repay the favor and give Feng Yiping a chance to publicize it for free.

"It's actually very simple, in July 01, I reported to Stanford and started my one-year exchange career,"

"I remember that as soon as I settled in my home, many neighbors came to greet me, which should be American, I think,"

"We're welcoming new neighbors like this, meaning you've never lived a day in a student dorm?" Oprah interjected.

Such a privileged class will be hated everywhere, how could Feng Yiping be fooled?

"Yes, so to speak, mainly because I already had a company in Silicon Valley at that time, and there were still a lot of businesses in China, and it was not easy to handle these jobs in student dormitories."

"But in fact, to be honest, I prefer to stay in the business school dormitory, you know, it is more convenient to study that way, and anyone who has been to Stanford should know that the Stanford business school dormitory has very good hardware, and,"

Feng Yiping paused, "You know, it's still the legendary mixed living of men and women," he said with a smile.

The audience burst into laughter.

Oprah also smiled, "So, you yearn for such a day when men and women live together?"

"At least it's a novelty, you know, I actually started boarding at the school from the fifth grade of elementary school, and from then on, all the way to the university, we had always had a clear distinction between boys' dormitories and girls' dormitories, and now suddenly this boundary is gone,"

"When you open the door sleepily in the morning, you'll find a lot of girls passing by in the hallway, so the hallway, instead of the previous boys' dormitory, is always filled with the smell of sweat, but floats with a nice smell, and you really think, oh man, this is really a funny thing,"

Everyone continued to laugh, Oprah smiled and said, "Understand, understand,"

"Back to the question at the beginning," Feng Yiping said back to the topic, "I was very touched by the greetings of those community residents who I didn't know, but I had to be busy with my homework and work at the same time, so the time was really tight,"

"Oh, by the way, we know that Stanford Graduate School of Business is all graduate students, and you're the first exchange student they accepted as a third-year undergraduate exchange student who hasn't yet graduated, right?"

Such details are not clear to the audience at the scene and in front of the TV, so this can be regarded as a kind of overture from her.

"That's right, because of my 2000 publication of Blue Ocean Strategy, my exchange application was honored to be approved by the Stanford Graduate School of Business."

"So continuing with the previous topic, as an undergraduate, receiving a graduate education, at the beginning, the pressure was really high, so I was really nervous about time, and I remember, I only held a party at home to thank my enthusiastic neighbors, and at the same time, I also took that opportunity to get to know them,"

"But other than that, I don't really have time to get involved in the community, so I feel a little embarrassed,"

"You know, it was popular to move everything online, whether it's a big company, or a small business, or some other organization, and they all have their own websites, so I thought, if we move our community online, wouldn't that be a good solution to this problem?"

"I HAPPENED TO HAVE A SOFTWARE COMPANY IN SILICON VALLEY, AND I TOLD THEM MY ATTENTION, AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD, AND THAT'S IT, NEXTDOOR IS WHAT IT IS NOW,"

"That's good," Oprah applauded, "I think there must have been other people who have discovered this need, but you're the first to think about how to solve it, and it's done well."

"Thank you, maybe it's because I was an outsider at the time, and I looked at things differently from other people who had lived here for a long time,"

"And I think there must be a lot of people who are facing the same problems as me, so our promotion is also going well,"

At this time, there is certainly no mention of the role of 911 in promoting their promotion.

"In other words, your original intention was just to solve the problem of not having time to participate in community activities,"

"Yes, so in the beginning, we insisted on being a family unit and using our real identity to register on the site,"

"Cooperating with some government security agencies, all later?"

Oprah vaguely mentions the effects of 911.

"Yes, then later, because of the terrorist attack, the relevant law enforcement agencies investigated many people, and in many communities, there was a sense of unease, and many people found that they didn't know much about their neighbors, and I felt that they could use the conditions in their hands to do something for the harmony of the community. ”

When it comes to 911-related issues, it's easy to go wrong, so Oprah immediately moved away from the topic, "We know that you have been an exchange student at Stanford Graduate School of Business for a year, and even now, you have a lot of time to work and live in the United States, so do you think it is better to live in the United States or in China?"

This is the kind of multiple-choice question that Xiao Okuhei mentioned that makes you in a dilemma.

If the answer is good in China, the domestic people will be happy, but the Americans will definitely not buy it, and it will affect the business of their own companies in the United States, which is normal.

If the answer is good in the United States, Feng Yiping dare not imagine the consequences.

"Because of economic development, in the past, some communities in China were not as complete as those in the United States, but with the continuous and rapid development of China in recent years, there is not much difference between China and the United States in terms of community support, so I think that living in China is not much different from living in the United States."

Such a problem, of course, is not difficult for Feng Yiping, and he cleverly made a replacement.

"And you also know, whether it's in China or in the United States, sometimes, I can't call the shots, but the work is the decision for me, maybe tomorrow morning, I have to rush back to China to deal with an important job, and then the day after tomorrow, because there is something on the American side, I will rush back soon,"

Oprah knows Feng Yiping very well now, and knows that his success is definitely not due to chance, and she also knows that he will not answer such an easy question, 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 liberal and democratic United States, whether it is work or life, which one do you prefer?"

This is an upgraded version of the difficult question that you ask left and right, and if you dare to answer China or the United States simply, then the result is to dig your own hole and bury yourself solidly.

"I don't think this question is too rigorous," Feng Yiping felt the need for a small defensive counterattack, "The people of our country all like red, but the red you said seems to have some other meaning?"

"Secondly, liberal and democratic, not only the United States, but also China, I think everyone knows that our country is a people's republic,"

"Yes, we know that too, but in the United States, there are multiple political parties that rotate, and the government is elected by the citizens, and in China, it doesn't seem to be like that,"

Feng Yiping glanced deeply at Oprah, who had a serious face on the other side, and it was obviously inappropriate to discuss such a serious and dry political issue with a guest like him, and it would not necessarily be of interest to many people.

But she just planned to get deeply entangled in this issue, and sure enough, she still wanted not to make herself feel better.

"In the United States, to be precise, there are two political parties in turn, and in China, we have more democratic parties, and our highest organ of power is also elected by the citizens, among them, there are not only members of various political parties, but also many people without party affiliation."

"In addition, I want to make it clear that in 400 BC, when many parts of the world were barbaric, the ancestors of our Chinese nation were thinking about democracy."

"In the Book of Shang, which was written at that time, the issue of democracy was mentioned."

Feng Yiping gave them a bit of science popularization.

You must know that in English-speaking countries, there was not even the word "democracy" (democracy), but it was developed from another ancient civilization, Greece, and her word demos.

"This may be undeniable, but it is now accepted that democracy is clearly better developed in the United States, and as for China, as for it, as we all know, it is communism,"

Feng Yiping really didn't want to talk more about this issue, he didn't want people to label him.

"This is also what I feel a little strange, in our country, we have long advocated less doctrine and more practicality, and our country is working hard from top to bottom to make the economy better, in order to make the life of themselves and their families better, why are some people still entangled in these problems?"

"As we all know, democracy is a diversity that reflects the characteristics of each country's political, social and cultural life, and that it is its basic principles, not a particular form, that determines democracy, and that the jury is still undecided, at least for the time being,"

"In other words, democracy in various countries has different external manifestations, or in other words, these current forms have their own advantages and disadvantages."

"In democracies, citizens not only have rights, but also have the responsibility to participate in the political system, through which their rights and freedoms are protected, as our country has done, and the United States has done,"

"At the same time, we also know that the core content of democracy is tolerance and cooperation, not simply one or the other, right?"

Feng Yiping used her spear again to attack her shield.

In the audience, Merbuck took the lead in applauding, and after a while, applause rang out.

The audience at the scene was really satisfied with Feng Yiping's performance.

On the contrary, tonight's Oprah is a little abnormal, and many times, a little aggressive, unlike Feng Yiping, who has always been very gentle.

He never took the initiative to attack and provoke, but in the face of some offensive problems, he coped with it very well.

"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 would make a clear statement on this matter, and simply raised this issue directly.
