When Kgrumman returned home, he hurriedly called his secretary and informed her that he would change his itinerary the next day and give Lin Qiangsheng an interview, and then he was busy rummaging through the relevant news about Saturn Motor Company and American Automobile Company, as well as some reports about Lin Qiangsheng.
Kgreman found that there is basically very little information about this Chinese billionaire himself, this Chinese billionaire is very mysterious and low-key, and has never taken the initiative to contact the media before, and the American media's reports on him have also focused on some actions in the financial and business circles, such as the acquisition of Saturn AMC a while ago, and then there are some developments in the personal PC industry.
And Kgreman is interested in what kind of environment can grow such a successful entrepreneur investor!
Yes, Lin Johnson is now a well-known entrepreneur in the United States, and he is also a famous investor and financier, his investment business in the United States has done a lot of business, among innovative enterprises, this Chinese investor's venture capital company is even more famous, and his own financial wealth creation legend has been repeatedly mentioned and reported by the media, and is regarded as an American miracle!
Krumman is extremely interested in this young Chinese billionaire, this is also the first time this young man took the initiative to meet with the media, he feels that Lin Johnson may have changed the past tradition, become active, his interview is his first high-profile appearance!
The next morning, Kgreman arrived at his office in downtown Manhattan, where his secretary saw him and immediately handed him a fax sheet.
Kgreman asked, confused, "What is this?" โ
The secretary clicked on the bottom of the fax paper and said, "Sir, at ten o'clock, the other party sent a fax, which recorded all the topics that the other party will not discuss with you!" โ
Kgreman took one look at it and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Oh damn it, this Lin Ke is such a miser. He vetoed several of the questions I had prepared, which was a disappointment! โ
The secretary also shrugged helplessly with the boss, and Kgreman nodded and said, "Okay, I'll see what this rich Chinese man wants!" โ
Sitting in the senior chair. Krumman looked at them one by one on the fax paper, the first thing is that personal ** questions can't be asked, of course, no rich man likes others to peep at his **.
The second is that questions about China's political system cannot be asked. Lin Qiangsheng will not discuss this either, he also gave an explanation, which does not make any sense.
"Why doesn't it make sense?" Kgreman very much does not understand that in his thinking, people themselves have political attributes, whether it is social. Yes. Host. The righteous are still capitalists. Give birth. Host. Righteous people or anarchists, etc., as long as they are individuals, should have their own ideas. However, Lin Qiangsheng, as a big entrepreneur, said that it was meaningless to discuss the political system, whether he really didn't want to talk about it, or that Lin Qiangsheng himself didn't care about this. So how did he do it to appear in these achievements!
The third is the military technology trade between China and the United States, which has been very hot in recent years, and Lin Qiangsheng does not want to talk about this aspect, which is also a sensitive issue, and the military exchanges between the US government and China are still hiding and concealing, and Lin Qiangsheng does not want his remarks to appear in the mainstream media.
American society has always been wary of China, and it is funny to say, perhaps the Americans themselves are scaring themselves, the propaganda is too much, and the American people are very afraid of the society. Yes. The most feared thing for the Americans is for the Chinese or the Soviets to land in the United States. Just like the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. In American films, there will be one or two such works from time to time, such as "Red Dawn" in 84, such a ridiculous movie has been remade in the 21st century. China attacked the United States, and the Americans didn't want to think about how the PLA could fight across the Pacific Ocean, did it fly over?!
"****, you can't ask anything, so what did I let you do!" Kgreman was so disappointed that he crumpled the fax paper into a ball and shouted.
But since the interview has been scheduled. Kgreman still has to prepare seriously, but he thinks that without those topics, it will definitely not be as exciting as he imagined!
At ten o'clock, Lin Qiangsheng appeared at Kgremman's studio on time, no more, no less, and the two sides agreed in advance that the interview time was 40 minutes.
The interview room was very elaborate, like a library or something like a place to read a book, very quiet, and solemn and unpretentious.
Du Ping stood at the door, seeing Lin Qiangsheng calmly facing the two cameras, and under the interference of some photographers and gaffers around, he could also talk without changing his face, and the woman couldn't help but show a look of pride and admiration.
Kgreman had already reorganized the question draft, and after the two sat down, he politely said a few words to Lin Qiangsheng and said, "Mr. Lin, first of all, welcome to bring it!"
We already know that you were born and raised in China, but what was your upbringing? We are very curious that a native of Chinese mainland, without formal education and market economy, can produce a successful entrepreneur, financier and investor like you, and we want to know what kind of growth experience will make you the qiฤ you are now? โ
Lin Qiangsheng showed a smile and said in his heart, of course he was reborn, but he can't sue you for this!
However, he still smiled calmly and said to Kgremman: "My upbringing is actually very ordinary, but I want to correct you first, I am formally educated, I studied at my hometown provincial university for a year, but then dropped out, my parents were very disappointed in my withdrawal from school, but I later continued my university studies at the University of Modena in Italy, and they were still very happy!" โ
Krumman was surprised, this is the first time I have heard that this rich Chinese man in front of him actually went to an Italian university, Modena? Sounds familiar!
He smiled and nodded, "So, you're still an international student!" โ
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "I want to finish college, but depending on my personal situation, it is estimated that it will take some time!" โ
"So what was your upbringing in China like, and can you tell us a little bit about it to our Time readers?" Kgreman smiled and continued to ask, feeling that the topic of non-nutrition was taking up too much time, so he immediately got back to business.
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, the outside world does not know about China, I can say that there is a private economy in China at any time." Even in a period of time, the government did not completely ban all private economy, and some self-employed people and many private workshops and factories still survived tenaciously in the cities and villages! โ
Krumman asked with interest: "We are always vague about what is happening in Chinese mainland, you can talk about it." What's really going on in China? โ
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "China is now in the process of transforming from a planned economy to a market economy, and there are opportunities to make money everywhere!"
It was about 7 years ago, when I was thirteen or fourteen years old, I was already doing some small business. In order to supplement the family and buy some fish and meat to eat, I was very thin at that time, and my family's health was not good, especially my mother!
In the process of doing small business, I found a business opportunity, where there is a huge demand for clothing and cloth in the city, but they are struggling to have no license to buy cloth, while in the countryside, the farmers have no license but no money. They also lack the need to buy clothing, so the two parties form a huge mutually beneficial space!
Like many people who see a business opportunity, I take the permits in the hands of the peasants, a kind of bill, which specifies how many pieces of cloth can be bought, and I buy them from the peasants, and then sell them to the people in the city.
Later, I found out that if I could take this kind of ticket directly to the store and sell it to consumers, I would be able to make more money. So I opened a shop that sold cloth as well as other small goods. Because China's cloth stamps at that time were actually a kind of hard currency, the cloth stamps in the private sector were even stronger than the renminbi, and the purchasing power was very strong, and the cloth was exchanged for the daily necessities needed by many urban people.
Of course. No commodity is as profitable as the cloth business, and there are many Chinese, so I also earned the first pot of gold in my life in the reselling of cloth! โ
Kgreman asked curiously, "May I ask, how much money did you have in your first pot of gold?" โ
Lin Qiangsheng said: "Yes, the renminbi was still very strong at that time, and it was also due to the high valuation. At that time, 1.2 yuan was exchanged for huร n 1 US dollar, and on the black market it was about 3 yuan for huร n 1 US dollar, and I made a huge sum of 250,000~300,000 US dollars in one year, which was quite a lot of money for me at that time! โ
"Wow, your business is really profitable!" Kgrumman exclaimed in surprise, unbelievable to this figure, seven years ago he was a small copywriter, he only earned tens of thousands of dollars a year, and he had to save several months of salary to buy a Japanese car, and this young man earned his current salary at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and it was just at the end of the ten years of turmoil in China, it was really unbelievable!
He slapped his palm vigorously and said: "Your experience in your youth is like a legend, and at the same time you are very lucky to have such a big market as China, as many Western economists say, the Chinese population is large, if every Chinese can buy us a shirt, then it can feed all Americans!" โ
Lin Qiangsheng shook his head with a smile and said: "That's impossible, the U.S. economy is not supported by shirts, and well-known writers like you rely on their brains and experience!" However, the Chinese population is large, the market scale is indeed very potential, clothing, food, housing, transportation, all aspects of life have huge potential space to be tapped! โ
Kgreman was about to put on a surprised expression, but he was relieved when he heard Lin Qiangsheng say this, he smiled and said: "Thank you Mr. Lin for your compliment, I will treat you as a compliment, you are right, we have a wealth of goods in the United States, I think entrepreneurs should really think about it, maybe they need to open the Chinese market!" โ
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "I think so too!" โ
Then he naughtily faced the camera, came to break the fourth wall, and said: "I hope that the entrepreneurs and investors who see this show, contact me, I can take you to China to make a fortune, I believe that no one knows the Chinese market better than me!" โ
Watching Lin Qiangsheng's movements, Kgreman laughed and said, "Aha, Mr. Lin, are you advertising China?" โ
Lin Qiangsheng laughed and said, "Sort of, but I'm still thinking about the numbers in everyone's bank!" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wรจnhttp://mnet
