Chapter Ninety-Six: Finally Getting Better

"In Silicon Valley, I often have lunch with my colleagues in the company cafeteria, and we will talk about a lot of problems, and of course, we will also talk about family life, so I often hear a lot of colleagues complaining,"

"For example, employment, tax revenues, rising prices, welfare, safety, the environment, transportation, children's education, efficiency of public utilities and civil servants, service awareness...... and many other questions,"

"You know, programmers, they are more rigorous, or they are habits developed at work, in short, they like to use numbers and charts to speak, and some of them are on the dinner table, and they draw a chart every minute to make me feel intuitive,"

"He will list his income curve in recent years, the curve of paying taxes, and finally the real income curve, and then compare the price index in recent years, so as to conclude that although wages have increased significantly compared with the previous two years of the dot-com bubble, his actual purchasing power is sometimes not as high as the previous two years."

"They will also complain that although they pay more and more taxes, the benefits they enjoy have not improved, and the efficiency of public institutions is still so poor: going to the hospital to see a doctor is still the same troublesome, and applying for a fishing license, going three times, still not being able to do it...... ,”

"Moreover, there is no way to find out where the taxes paid by everyone are used by those people in the government,"

Feng Yiping looked at the smiling and whispering audience in the audience and said, "It seems that you also have the same distress as my colleagues. ”

Quite a few people laughed.

Oprah must intervene at this time, otherwise, it will become like Feng Yiping presiding, "Yes, the efficiency and service awareness of many public units should indeed be improved,"

"However, our institutional setup may not guarantee that these public institutions will be much better, but at least we can ensure that they will not be much worse,"

Feng Yiping ignored her and continued the topic just now, "But, when he finishes complaining, if I ask those grumbling colleagues, 'So, do you love this place?'"

"They'll not hesitate to put away those spit charts and say, without thinking, 'yes man, I think I love this damn place,'"

"Or, 'Why not?'"

"Or, 'That's why we have to work hard, we have to change, and hopefully when my children grow up, they will face a much better situation than they are now,'"

Seeing the appreciative nods from many viewers below, Feng Yiping didn't give Oprah a chance to interject, "So, in this world, there is no perfect society, and there is no perfect place, heaven, I think it only exists in religious stories,"

"However, as long as we are willing to pay and work hard, we will eventually build a better place where we are step by step,"

The audience applauded enthusiastically.

Oprah had to admire Feng Yiping's level of foolishness, he did not compare the gap between the two countries head-on, but said some common problems in the two countries, and these problems, in front of so many audiences, she couldn't open her eyes and say nonsense that the United States does not have these problems.

Feng Yiping then explained the commonality of these problems, and easily turned the topic to how to improve, the transition was very smooth, natural, very organized, and irrefutable, so as to easily resolve her difficulties.

But now she has to echo, "Yes, the point is that we have to find ways to improve,"

"I think first of all, we should correct an attitude, that is, we must understand that in the face of these problems, it is useless to just complain, even if it is criticism, there will be some promotion,"

"The most undesirable thing is to spurn, to look down on, to abandon a place where you feel that there are all kinds of problems, and to go to another place where you think there are no problems, but in fact there are many problems,"

"The most undesirable thing is to be cynical and complain about the place and country where you used to work and live after arriving in a new place."

This is his personal true opinion and feelings, and at the same time, speaking of this, Feng Yiping feels that he has expressed his meaning very clearly.

"Yes, you're right," but Oprah still didn't want to give up and wanted to continue on this issue, because she knew that this was a question that Feng Yiping would definitely not be able to answer directly.

However, at this moment, Feng Yiping glanced at her with a smile, although it was a smile, she still immediately understood the meaning of Feng Yiping's smile, which was a warning: This is the end.

She paused for a moment, and then realized that if she continued to dwell on this issue, it might really end badly.

After all, the other party is a young man who is more successful than most people in the world, who knows what he can do?

Still thinking in her heart, she had already said it, "You said that you often eat in the company? I believe that many young people will think that people like you should not eat in those high-end restaurants?"

"Not really," Feng Yiping shook his head, "Not to mention high-end restaurants, I don't go to many restaurants, except for the company's restaurant, I usually eat at home,"

"At home, do you do it yourself?"

"Yes, do it yourself, and I'm not bad,"

"Fry a steak, mix a salad, or make a sandwich?"

"No, I usually cook Chinese food, shallot tofu, tomato scrambled eggs, stir-fried meat, and then stew a soup,"

"I'm saliva," Oprah exaggerated, "but, in terms of time, isn't it better to leave these things to someone else?"

"You can use this time to do more profitable things,"

"Since it's life, it's not good to settle financial accounts at all times, it's too tiring, or there should be some hobbies, you can also take this as a hobby of mine, I enjoy the process of cooking, it makes me feel relaxed, just like watching a movie,"

Foreigners pay attention to enjoying life, Feng Yiping doesn't want to portray himself as a person who only knows how to work, but will not enjoy and relax, and has no interest at all.

"Yes, life should not only be about work, but also about hobbies,"

"Watching movies is another hobby of yours, do you have any movies that you particularly like to watch?"

"This, I don't particularly like it, as long as it's good-looking, whether it's romantic, innocent, warm, intense, or funny, I watch it all,"

"There must be a lot of Hollywood productions,"

"Of course," Feng Yiping nodded.

"Which of Hollywood's favorite celebrities would you like to meet, or if you could, which celebrities would you most like to meet? You know, I've been here quite a bit."

"This, can you say, maybe a little too much,"

"Let's talk about it, I'm sure everyone will be interested,"

"Okay, I like Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Jessica Alba, Kate Beckinsale, Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson...... ,”

He said a long list of words easily, and Oprah put his hand on his forehead, "I know, I know, I understand,"

"Ah, I still haven't said a lot, such as European," Feng Yiping looked very unsatisfied.

"You know, I'm going to love Isabel Adjani, Sophie Marceau, and Monica Bellucci," Oprah added for him.

The audience laughed.

"Hehe, you know that,"

In fact, there are many more, but none of them have any influential works yet.

"You said the first three, and I'll know," Oprah laughed.

Feng Yiping likes those well-known and beautiful female stars, just like the men who are laughing in the audience at this time.

"Of course, there's one more one who must say, Oprah Winfrey,"

"Really?" Oprah looked flattered.

"Really, really," Feng Yiping smiled.

"Haha, I'm honored," Oprah seemed to let go of the topics that made it difficult to deliberately leave behind, and returned to his usual nature.

"We know that in addition to the company you founded, you are also the third largest shareholder and strategy director of Google, as well as a special adviser to Steve Jobs, and now you are cooperating with Musk to build a car.

"This, can I tell the truth?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Of course, you have to tell the truth,"

The audience was also aroused by Feng Yiping's question, isn't the experience with these people good enough?

"I have to say, it's very nice to work with them, it's great because everybody knows what they're capable of,"

"However, sometimes you don't feel very happy with them, and you may even doubt the purpose of your existence,"

"Why do you say that?"

"It's very simple, when you think about it and you finally come up with a great idea, and when you tell them, they immediately say, 'yes, we thought about it too,'"

"Or, you went out together and saw and experienced the same things, but it was from these things that he found a good opportunity,"

"Or maybe you show your work that you're very happy with, and they go around and in a few minutes, they'll point out more than a dozen things that need to be improved, and they're pointing out them so quickly, and they're all right...... ,”

"There are so many experiences like this, you sometimes really doubt the purpose of your existence, 'God, did you create me just to contrast the genius of these people?'" Feng Yiping asked with his hands stretched out to the sky.

The highest level of humor is actually self-deprecation.

When Feng Yiping, who was already a genius and idol in the minds of many people, said this, those in the audience who came to see him couldn't help laughing.

Oprah also laughed wildly, "No, it's not like that,"

"I think if you look at it from another angle, you must have done the same thing to them, and it would make them feel the same way,"

"Really?" Feng Yiping looked incredulous.

"It must be so," Oprah affirmed.

"I'm much more comfortable to hear you say that, and I'll have to ask them when I go back to Silicon Valley."

"Okay God, I'll take back what I just said," Feng Yiping echoed again, and then said with a straight face, "However, getting along with them is like this, not only can you get a lot of inspiration, but at the same time, it will make me feel a lot of pressure, you will feel that if you don't hurry up and enrich yourself, you will soon not be able to keep up with their pace - this motivates you to study hard,"

"So, working and living with these geniuses, yes, is a great thing,"

"Actually, you have long been a genius in the minds of many people, I know, you were born in a remote rural area in China, when you were a child, your family was not good, so difficult that you couldn't even afford the tuition, we have read the relevant information, you said, when you were a child, pocket money for you, that is a legendary thing, right?"

"Yes, at that time, in my hometown, in fact, such a situation was relatively common, for a long time, for us, as long as it was something that needed money to buy, it was a luxury, for example, a pen, a pair of sneakers,"

Such a question, his peers in the United States, is clearly incomprehensible.

In fact, not to mention the pen, even the pencil, you have to be very careful to save the use, when the pencil is used to a very small part, pinched can not be pinched, will also find a way to connect a section at the back, in order to continue to write.

Feng Yiping actually doesn't like to talk about this, but who makes such a counterattack story like to be heard by all people regardless of country and race?

"But you relied on your own efforts to be admitted to one of the best universities in China, and before the university, you started to try to start a business, and in just a few years, you have achieved so much, I, like many people, are very concerned, what is the reason why you are so successful?"

"This question has been asked to me by many people, and I have thought about it many times myself, but first of all, I want to say that I have encountered a good era, and now China is the most suitable era for entrepreneurship,"

"The sustained and rapid development of the economy has created too many opportunities, and I am quite sure that a large part of my success is driven behind by this era."

"I made a decision to get involved in one industry, and then I was pushed into other related industries, and luckily, I succeeded. ”

"We all know that you have always been very modest, there are so many people in China, why did you achieve so much success at a young age? Why did you become the richest man in China and not anyone else? This must have a big reason with you personally, right?"

Now in the show, Oprah has finally returned to her true colors.

She remembered the information collected by her team, to a certain extent, Feng Yiping was also very difficult when he was a child, but he never gave up on himself like himself, and has been working positively. (To be continued.) )
