Chapter 255: Fierce Debate, Feminism!

Ren Pingsheng and Sister Zhu reunited after a long absence, so they naturally had endless words and endless love.

Coincidentally, Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB) happened to arrange one of the British courses of this EMBA executive class at the Jiazhi Business School of Cambridge University, so after the Oxbridge Rowing Competition, Ren Pingsheng and his classmates from Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business went to Cambridge Town where Zhu Jieran lived.

Founded in 1990, Cambridge Judge Business School is a "small but fine" business school, enrolling only about 173 MBAs and 81 EMBAs each year. This is almost the smallest of the top 10 business schools in the world.

The Business School is located in the core area of the Cambridge University campus, on the banks of the River Cams, near the famous Silicon Fen region in the United Kingdom, also known as the Silicon Valley of Europe, with more than 1,500 high-tech innovative companies and 30% of Europe's venture capital funds.

The next day, sitting in the auditorium of the Cambridge Judge Business School, the Dean of the University, Ms. Christine Rogge, introduced the history and current situation of the Judge Business School, as well as the guests who participated in the course.

In addition to the EMBA president class of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, there are also representatives of British politics and business, including Jane Gaudia, the female president of Virgin Company, and Carey Grace, the editor-in-chief of BBC Television.

(Shadow Cabinet refers to the preparatory cabinet group set up by a non-ruling political party in a country with a multi-party system to prepare for coming to power, also known as a "reserve cabinet" or "opposition cabinet.") Shadow cabinets are often formed in the form of cabinets by the largest opposition leader in the House of Commons, who identify influential members of the same party in the House of Commons. )

Of course, as the main course of Cambridge, of course, there are a large number of Cambridge students who are observers, and of course there is Zhu Jieran.

Sister Zhu wore an off-white pullover cardigan today, black jeans and Chelsea boots, and a black whip hung down on her chest at will, making the twin peaks standing tall under the cardigan more conspicuous.

And her face is full of youthful vitality all the time, as well as the enthusiasm and light bursting out of her eyes, which make the melon seed face that no longer has any fat more beautiful and more radiant.

Of course, it's all because of a man.

The man who made Sister Zhu wait for a long time, but was sitting next to her at the moment.

Today's lecture was conducted in the form of a co-lecture on the topic of "Business and Women's Leadership", with simultaneous translation provided by the University of Cambridge.

The moderator of the course, Ms. Kristen Rogge, first introduced the rules of the speech, and then she first invited the Chinese guest representatives to give the speech.

As the guest representative of this overseas study tour of Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, Wang Shi walked on the podium with a relaxed face.

He wore a casual suit today, no tie, and the top button of his shirt was loose.

Facing the audience, Wang Shi said modestly:

"I would like to thank Cambridge University Jiazhi Business School and Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business for giving me such an opportunity to talk about business and women here. ”

"Today's presence with us is also the esteemed Ms. Teresa May, Ms. Jane Gaudia, Ms. Carey Grace, their thoughts and speeches are certainly more valuable than my Wang Shi, ladies will definitely be able to bring us insightful speeches, Wang Shi today is a brick thrower, first talk about the views of a Chinese entrepreneur. ”

Wang Shi paused here and greeted the female guests seated in the front row with his eyes, before starting the formal speech.

"I think it's a very good topic today, and it's very good that our organisers have set this course in the UK, why?"

Wang Shi's way of speaking today is different from last time, he does not reveal too much of the tone of an entrepreneur leader, and his tone of speech is very calm and cordial, as if chatting with the audience.

"Because talking about women, talking about modern women, talking about women's leadership, I think it's particularly appropriate in the UK, because we know that the head of the British state is a woman, a queen. ”

The audience laughed, especially the female audience.

"Although the successive prime ministers have been dominated by men, Britain has produced a very, very famous female prime minister in the world, Margaret Thatcher. ”

When Wang Shi said this, Theresa May, who was sitting in the front row, pursed her lips, as if she was very touched by this sentence.

Moreover, the modern feminist movement also originated in the United Kingdom, which was the first developed country in the West to achieve women's suffrage. ”

Speaking of this, the British audience in the audience all showed a look of pride and pride.

"So it's very appropriate and necessary to talk about women in the UK, to talk about the role of women in business. ”

At this time, there was a round of applause from the audience, Wang Shi paused slightly, and then continued with a smile:

"Next, I will tell you a few stories that have a relationship with women and have something to do with leadership. ”

"First, I think I'm a feminist, I think men and women should be equal. When I founded Wanke, I remember back in the 80s, and corporate benefits also included house sharing. As we all know, when China was in the planned economy, the allocation of houses was dominated by men, but I stipulated in Wanke that men and women should be the same, and the houses should be allocated according to your age when you enter the company, according to your ability, and according to your level of treatment. ”

When Wang Shi talked about this past, his face showed a solemn look, and his voice became heavy, many young audiences in the audience had never heard of this history, so they listened to it with relish, but their faces were still half-understood.

"I believe that in China's reform and opening up, in the development process of Wanke, I have always been an active supporter of the status of women. ”

"However, when I accepted the invitation to participate in this course as a guest and participate in this lecture, I was puzzled. ”

Wang Shi shook his head slowly, stood still, stared at the audience quietly with his eyes, and asked:

"Why?"

There was silence in the audience, and no one knew the answer.

Wang Shi finally spoke.

"Because I looked at the employee data of Wanke Enterprise, this data is not at all what I imagined. That is, Wanke now has 40,000 employees, and the ratio of men to women is 6.5 to 3.5, that is, among the ten employees, women account for 3.5. ”

"Looking a little deeper, for example, in our middle-level management and above, among people like masters and doctors, the ratio of men to women is 6.2 to 3.8, which shows that we are mainly male in higher education. ”

Wang Shi's steps became tighter, and the tone of his voice quickened.

"The conclusion comes out, the proportion of women in Wanke employees is too low, and this is the status quo. ”

"I was so shocked to prepare for this speech that I had to rediscover myself. If you're an entrepreneur like me who thinks you respect women and thinks you're a feminist in China, that's still true for all the companies you manage, let alone other people and other companies. ”

Wang Shi's eloquent talk aroused the emotions of the female audience in the audience, and they nodded in agreement.

"So I started to review, what's the problem?"

"It was interesting to draw a conclusion from the results of the discussion with the HR director. ”

Wang Shi crossed his hands in front of him, and said with a thoughtful expression:

"Even if Mr. Wang Shi's subjective will is to promote the idea of equality between men and women, you have not built a system in the enterprise, that is, Wanke has not systematically cultivated female managers, and has not stipulated from the board level and management level of Wanke that a certain proportion of women must be required. ”

"Because our current society is still dominated by men, if the dominant person in the male society, you can't set it up from the system in this aspect, you just have an illusory belief, you think you are a feminist, you think you have made some pro-female remarks, these are not enough, it is not enough. ”

At this time, an even more enthusiastic applause broke out from the audience, and the female audience members showed very excited expressions on their faces, as if Wang Shi said what they wanted to say, so that their remarks were more widely recognized.

It's just that among these enthusiastic audiences, Ren Pingsheng still retains an indifferent state, and he did not applaud Wang Shi's speech, nor was he moved by his words.

Wang Shi is indeed a master of speech, and he also knows how to capture the ears of the audience, his set of words is very powerful, and the results achieved are also very good.

But Wang Shi also has flaws, just like today's speech on women's rights, it is obvious that it anchors the psychology of female audiences, and the female students who can participate in today's course, as well as the female audience who appear in this auditorium, are all women who have pursued their careers, or successful women whose careers have reached a certain level.

However, the purpose of Wang Shi's speech is too strong, and his cases and logic try to choose the direction and taste that the audience likes to listen to, so that although it is very popular with the audience, the depth of thought is insufficient.

That said, it couldn't change the fact that Wang Shi's speech was popular, so he continued:

"To make feminism deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, to make more equality between men and women, you must take action, you must design and implement the system, so that women can get more opportunities and space, so that it can become a reality. ”

This sentence won Wang Shi the warmest applause from the audience, and even Theresa May, who was sitting in the front row, stood up to cheer for Wang Shi.

But only Ren Pingsheng shook his head gently.

Wang Shi's speech today can be said to be perfect in terms of technique, but it is biased in terms of ideas and conclusions.

Equality between men and women cannot be achieved through special care for women, which can only lead to unilateral feminism and women's interests, encourage and breed excessive feminism, and self-interested elements who exploit and oppress others under the banner of feminism.

Ren Pingsheng couldn't agree with Wang Shi's remarks, and he didn't dare to agree with his kitsch attitude, so he stood up.

At this time, Wang Shi had already bowed slightly to the audience, and with the smile of a successful person, he said humbly:

"Thank you. The above is Wang Shi's personal opinion, and if it is inappropriate, please criticize and correct it. ”

In the enthusiastic applause of the audience, in Wang Shi's slightly surprised eyes, and under Sister Zhu's somewhat blank gaze, Ren Pingsheng had calmly stepped onto the podium, faced Wang Shi, and said loudly:

"I also have some understanding of women's rights, which may be very different from Mr. Wang's view. ”

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on this young Asian man.
