As the name suggests, this gimmick of "Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century" is a list of 100 important people of the twentieth century compiled by Time magazine according to its own standards. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As early as the beginning of February this year, the plan was put forward at a seminar held in Hanoukville City, Funan Special Economic Zone.

After all, with less than a year and a half left in the century, the social elite is naturally full of impulses to take stock.

In the past 100 years, it has not been so easy to choose the number of important people around the world.

To this end, Time magazine organized a debate panel that included CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rusher, historian Doris Killes Goodwin, former New York Governor Mario Cuomo, Stanford University Provost Condoleezza Rice, publisher Owen Christo, Time magazine executive editor Walter Isaacson, and others to discuss the selection of candidates at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the District of Columbia.

The entire list is divided into five categories: "Leaders and Revolutionaries" who influenced the political and social structure of the twentieth century, "Scientists and Thinkers" who subverted stereotypes, "Entrepreneurs and Giants" who changed the world, "Artists and Entertainers" who enriched our lives, and "Heroes and Symbols of the Times" who showed unparalleled courage, selflessness, passion, grace, or abilities beyond mortals. Each category contains twenty candidates.

It must be pointed out that with the gradual release of the five categories of "100 People of the Times: The Most Important People of the Century", controversy and even criticism are endless.

The first point is that the ranking is too U.S.-centric and not representative.

Time magazine's response also made no secret of the problem, and explained bluntly: Europeans have indeed brought great innovations to a high degree of modernization, but when it comes to popular culture, this century, especially the second half of the century, the music that the whole world is listening to, the movies that the whole world is watching, and the fast food that the whole world is eating...... It's all American, or to a large extent, influenced by the United States. This century is the century that belongs to the United States.

Well, this is a tear between Europe and the United States, and it has nothing to do with anyone else.

The second problem that has been criticized by people is the old problem of Time magazine, that is, it only looks at the influence of candidates, and does not consider factors such as morality, right and wrong.

For example, in the first announced "Leaders and Revolutionaries" category, Adolf Hitler, who was once named "Man of the Year", was added.

For another example, in the just-announced "Entrepreneurs and Giants" group, Time magazine also joined Charlie Luciano, the leader of the American mafia and known as the "father of modern organized crime in the United States", on the grounds of "modernizing the black hand ~ party organization and shaping it into a gray area-focused and smoothly functioning country ~ crime ~ group".

At this moment, even one of the strongholds of the American Mafia ~ Party, the current mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani, couldn't help but publicly complain about Time magazine, "romanticizing" the American Mafia ~ Party, and criticized: "Time Magazine's view of civilizing the Mafia ~ Party is extremely absurd. You know, Charlie Luciano chose to kill someone else in order to get his place, and then authorized hundreds of murders. ”

Some Italian elites were also upset, arguing that Time magazine was "perpetuating the myth" of Italian-Americans.

Time magazine argued that Charlie Luciano was chosen because he was "an evil genius" and had a profound impact on the underground economy. We're not showing off these people, we're talking about the people who have impacted our lives.

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

"Perhaps, this is the attitude towards history in an objective and neutral manner." The richest man smiled playfully, and then quipped: "It seems that although you have been in the United States for a short time, you have still managed to resist the erosion of capitalism." ”

Meng Jing's gaze turned to Zhuang Menghua, "Can you understand what my brother just said about these weird words of yin and yang, what they mean?" ”

"What's so hard about this!" Zhuang Menghua cut off, "What he means is nothing more than that no matter if it lasts for a hundred years or lasts for thousands of years, it will have a place in the United States, not to be wiped out and disappear." ”

"Just like this time, the wise and martial man Mr. The richest man, although many American speculators have planted a heel in Xiangjiang, but when he returns to the United States, only 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 has been stinking for thousands of years." ”

Zhuang Menghua rolled his eyes, "Don't say it, he has been on the Xiangjiang side for a hundred years, and it is really possible that he will be left in the United States for 10,000 years." ”

Tang Huan coughed lightly, interrupted the second daughter's debate, and urged: "Is the report out, hurry up and show me." ”

Zhuang Menghua turned the laptop to Tang Huan's direction and reported succinctly: "As of the 'Great Miracle Day', including the futures index, we have made a profit of nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars; the SAR government ~ government has made a profit of less than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars on the futures index; the situation on the speculator's side is not very clear, and it is conservatively estimated that the loss is more than 5 billion Hong Kong dollars." ”

Tang Huan bowed slightly, and ordered: "You give priority to the funds of Bank of America, I want to make its quarterly report really beautiful." ”

"Are you going to take advantage of the fact that the U.S. financial community is suffering from the Russian financial crisis to let the U.S. banks expand?" Zhuang Menghua frowned slightly, "Will it attract a backlash that thinks our hands are too long?" ”

"Isn't the high-tech consortium that we have formed being suppressed like the United States of America v. Zheru Software Monopoly case?" Tang Huan sneered slightly, "Then let's take the initiative in finance." ”

Zhuang Menghua thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then as you return to the United States, you will first give Bank of America a return of 200 million US dollars to suppress the previous doubts, including Warren Buffett." ”

"That's for the best." Tang Huan smiled happily: "I really want to appreciate what their expressions are after seeing Bank of America bucking the trend and making a lot of money!" ”

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

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

Tang Huan didn't want to continue to delay time here in Xiangjiang, because the United States of America v. Zheru Software Co., Ltd. monopoly case, which is being advanced layer by layer, and the Bank of America, which is about to expand, can be said to be more and more inseparable from the United States.

But he, the big boss, still can't stand the lobbying of the person next to him after all.

……

In the afternoon, the interview was scheduled, but in the morning, various preparations such as adjusting the lighting began.

Today, Phoenix Media has grown to become the world's largest private media organization for the Chinese community.

Since the radiation area is so large, an interview like Mr. the richest man is naturally even more solemn.

The person in charge of the interview is Wu Xiaoli, who belongs to the veteran employees recruited from Baodao by Hu Yinmeng when the Phoenix Satellite TV network was officially established in the early 1990s.

Before coming to Xiangjiang for development, Wu Xiaoli was a reporter and anchor of Baodao China Television News, but she was caught by Hu Yinmeng, a senior sister and alumnus of Fu Jen University, and jumped ship without hesitation.

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

At a press conference during China's two sessions in mid-March this year, the newly appointed Premier Zhu, in front of everyone present, said, "It's good for you to take care of Miss Wu Xiaoli of Phoenix TV, I like to watch her radio very much," and then gave Wu Xiaoli the first opportunity to ask questions, and Wu Xiaoli's name became a household name in China.

It can be said that in order to track the itinerary of Mr. the richest man in Xiangjiang, as well as the final interview, Phoenix Media sent the strongest lineup.

Because of Hu Yinmeng's relationship, Wu Xiaoli can also be regarded as a cronie, and there is no need to solve the restrained communication joints, and after a few words of chat, the two sides turned to the topic.

Wu Xiaoli, who was down-to-earth and generous, first made a statement straight to the point, "Mr. Tang, some parts of the questions in this interview may be sharp. ”

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

Wu Xiaoli really did as she declared, and the first question was very wide-ranging, "Mr. Tang, in the past few months of this year, you have done two great things: one is to help Chinese refugees in Java escape from danger; The other is to assist the government ~ government of the Xiangjiang Special Administrative Region to resist the attack of international speculators. ”

"This matter, no matter which one it is, is extremely difficult and risky."

"Can you tell me what kind of noble beliefs you had when you participated in these things?"

Not to mention this kind of interview, you know the problem in advance, and just by virtue of genuine intelligence and quick thinking, the richest man can answer with his mouth open.

He said very frankly: "I dare not be noble, my position and starting point are very simple and simple. The former is based on an emotional drive that empathizes with the misfortunes of fellow Chinese compatriots; The latter is because there are so many commercial interests in Xiangjiang that I can't watch it be destroyed into rubble. ”

Wu Xiaoli asked curiously, "Have you ever thought that you will lose some interests and offend some forces because of this?" ”

"My habit of doing things is: when you make a decision, you don't look ahead!" The richest man shrugged his shoulders, "What's more, there will be a reward for your efforts, haven't I already gotten a lot?" ”

Wu Xiaoli laughed understandingly, "Does it also include the title of 'Ten Thousand Family Buddhas'." ”

Tang Huan showed a rare embarrassed look, "It's really unbearable to be praised like this." ”

"Then let's talk about the battle to defend the Xiangjiang stock market just past." Wu Xiaoli quickly changed the topic when she saw the opportunity, "The realistic version of 'Miracle Day' you once mentioned did appear, and it also made international speculators fail miserably. ”

"However, after all, the economy of Hong Kong has been severely damaged by the Asian financial turmoil."

"How long do you think it will take for the economy to recover?"

"I can't say for sure, but I'm sure it will be soon." Tang Huan muttered: "We have seen that in this Asian financial turmoil that ended with the 'Great Miracle Day' in Xiangjiang, China can be said to be standing tall. ”

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

"With the take-off of the mainland economy, the rapid recovery of Xiangjiang is a matter of course."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan accentuated his tone, "We should see how valuable the capital of Xiangjiang after the return has been obtained economically. ”

"For example, in the case of the European Union, which will unify its currency into the euro in a few months, why should those small developed countries in Western Europe go to such lengths to unite to form a huge European Union?"

"Because countless experiences have shown that only by being big can we become stronger."

"In contrast, Hong Kong is backed by the European Union, which is the same size as the European Union, and it is simply effortless."

"Just for the sake of its own long-term economic development, Hong Kong should cherish and treat such a valuable capital with kindness."

Wu Xiaoli complimented: "Mr. Tang has a gully in his chest, if you are asked to make a plan for Xiangjiang, what kind of blueprint should it be?" ”

Tang Huan was obviously intrigued by this topic, and made another analogy: "I don't know if you have noticed, the San Francisco Bay Area, where Silicon Valley is located, has many similarities with the Pearl River Delta. ”

"If one day, the gap between Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Macao, including transportation, communications and so on, is broken down, it is not impossible to give birth to an oriental version of Silicon Valley."

……

Today's post-production of TV programs has fully adopted the computer digital nonlinear system.

Therefore, the interview with Mr. the richest man was edited out as quickly as possible and arranged on the Phoenix Satellite TV network.

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

personally created the "Great Miracle Day", I don't know how many international speculators Tang Huan buried, how can he be a wise and martial artist, and immediately attracted a large number of audiences and sat in front of the TV series.

However, the richest man was destined to have no time to admire his style, and after an exclusive interview, he quickly returned to the United States.

Bank of America, which has received a remuneration of 200 million US dollars at the same time, immediately attracted a voice of admiration: the richest man in Tang is much more reliable than various hedge funds in Baobao.

In order to make up for his previous distrust, Warren Buffett mysteriously pulled the richest man and took the initiative to ask: "Don, do you know that you have offended people?" ”
