On October 11, the University of Chicago announced the surprise news that a well-known alumnus donated to the University of Chicago the largest alumni donation in history, with a total amount of nine figures.

In the announcement, the University of Chicago did not disclose the identity of the donor alumnus, but hinted that the alumnus has made groundbreaking contributions to the field of finance, and although he is still young, his current achievements are enough to win the Nobel Prize in economics. The purpose of the donation will be divided into two parts, one part will be included in the Chicago University Alumni Endowment Fund for long-term management, and the other part will be used as a bursary fund for Chinese students.

Naturally, the disclosure of this information is enough for the media of good things. After checking the current situation of hundreds of "well-known alumni" with Chinese backgrounds, some authoritative media targeted Zhong Shi, first asked the public relations department of Tianyu Fund for verification, and then put forward a request for an interview after receiving an affirmative answer.

Because this news also caused a sensation in mainland China, many people expressed puzzlement about it, so the official media also made an interview request to the Tianyu Fund in Hong Kong after communicating with foreign counterparts, and finally under the selection of the public relations department, Aihua News Agency and the Wall Street Journal became the two print media that finally obtained the interview qualifications. At the same time, CNBC's television station also broadcast the content of the interview live, even on Wall Street. Zhong Shi can also be regarded as the number one famous figure, and this is his first public appearance in so many years.

It is precisely for many reasons that so many well-known media can compromise, and jointly conduct an exclusive interview with Zhong Shi.

On a sunny morning on October 15, in the office building rented by Hu Ping, although the traders were operating in front of the computer screen, most of their eyes were aimed at the innermost office, and since six o'clock, people have been entering and leaving the room one after another. Move all kinds of photographic equipment in and out. Jiang Shan looked curiously. It was discovered that the seventy-square-meter office had been set up as a small interview center, with a space in the middle of the room with four ordinary chairs and a sky-blue curtain in the background. On the periphery of the lens hangs a large reflector on the left and right. Illuminate this square inch of land clearly. Around the four seats, various cameras are densely arranged, and the red and blue indicators are lit up in turn. The staff sat around, waiting for the main character to appear.

"What is this for?" Jiang Shan couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, although he had also seen the scene of the interview, but he was a little unclear about it, because Zhong Shi had not revealed the slightest rumor before, he was naturally very curious about the content of the interview, turned his head and asked Hu Ping, who was also puzzled, "Is this a live broadcast?" ”

Hu Ping shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and signaled that he didn't know anything about it, and then his face sank, and he pretended to be angry and scared Jiang Shan and said: "What do you do so much, won't you know when you watch TV later?" Also watch? Hurry up and watch the plate, you missed the signal of reconciliation on the other side, and you will look good when the time comes. ”

Since he learned that Jiangshan was going to "abandon the dark and turn to the light", Hu Ping's attitude towards him was obviously a lot colder, and Jiangshan also knew this, so he stuck out his tongue at the moment, didn't dare to say anything more, and returned to his position to look at the plate obediently.

A quarter of an hour before ten o'clock, Zhong Shi's figure appeared outside the office door, and immediately a makeup artist stepped forward and hurriedly touched up the powder on his face, which was a necessary procedure for the camera. After hastily cleaning up, Zhong Shi calmly walked to the center of the magnesium lamp, sat down on the middle seat with a golden knife, and said with a smile: "Okay, can we start?" ”

At this moment, a powerful aura immediately enveloped the audience, and the confidence of the superior was fully demonstrated at this moment. Brian was overjoyed in his heart, he intuitively felt that there might be unimaginable news breaking out today, and waved to Zhong Shi at the moment: "Wait a moment, Mr. Zhong, we will start as soon as the anchors are in place." ”

As he spoke, three reporters (anchors) rushed into the office, making final preparations in the nanny car downstairs, busy proofreading the outline of the interview. Since the four companies basically wanted to interview each other, but there may be overlaps between them, they need to think of backup questions in case of conflict.

The Aihua Society came from a Chinese, Oriental face, hair cut very short, looking very spiritual, the name shown on the badge is Zhang Xiaomin, thirty-five years old, after coming in, he began to communicate with Zhong Shi in Chinese, and soon the two talked and laughed, obviously a master of communication.

The reporter from the Wall Street Journal is called Chris. Snitty, who looks quite young, but is also in his thirties, is one of the more well-known reporters in their social news. After he sat down, he greeted Zhong Shi in a friendly way, and began to look around about the environment, his blue eyes rolling around, not knowing what he was thinking.

The last place is one of CNBC's outfield ace hosts, Sean. Bonner, in his forties, is in the prime of life, but maybe because of overuse of his brain, his temples are already a little gray, but this white hair adds a bit of a mature man's flavor to him. Known for his sharp inquisitiveness and mean words, he attracted the attention of the audience as soon as he entered. After Brian exchanged for a moment, he walked up to Zhong Shi with a smile on his face, stretched out his right hand as he walked, and said, "Mr. Zhong, it is really a great honor to meet you, you must know that your name is famous in the financial world, we have tried to interview you many times, but your employees have always stopped our kind behavior. ”

As soon as he came up, he didn't greet the other two at all, and there was a faint hint of Zhong Shi's identity between his words, which was a bit of a bad person.

"Really? Is it you, or the CNBC team? Zhong Shi's face remained the same. After shaking hands politely with the other party, he asked rhetorically, and after getting the other party's answer that it was his own, he replied lightly, "It must be that Mr. Sean's style of speech is too sharp, so my staff kindly dissuaded him." I'm sure my employees wouldn't have done that with someone else. ”

Zhong Shi was naturally not to be outdone, and while being polite, he secretly satirized the shortcomings of the other party's mean words.

Zhang Xiaomin was slightly stunned at first, and then a smile rose at the corner of his mouth. And Chris. Snitty laughed out loud with a "poof". Sean. Bonner was very self-deprecating, and the look of embarrassment on his face flashed. He burst out laughing. "Mr. Zhong, you are so humorous, I think we will definitely become friends."

"I hope so, too!" Zhong Shi smiled faintly. Now that the other party has released goodwill. Naturally, there is no need for me to continue to hold on.

After a few more minutes of small talk. I heard the director say, "The last ten seconds are ready." A staff member then counts down softly, and when it's over, the red light on the camera comes on. It means that the live broadcast has begun.

At this time, in the trading room not far from the door, the TV set hanging from the ceiling had already been turned to the CNBC channel, and with the switching of the signal, Zhong Shi and others appeared on the screen, which immediately caused a burst of exclamations among the traders.

"Good morning everyone, this is CNBC, today we have Mr. Zhong Shi from China Hong Kong, Mr. Zhong is famous for developing the credit price determination mechanism, in addition, he is also one of the most influential people in the market, he has successfully assisted the Hong Kong government in bailing out the market in '98. In addition, this high-achieving student who graduated from the University of Chicago spent a lot of money some time ago and donated a full 100 million US dollars to the University, which became the focus of market discussion for a while. Today, we are honored to have Mr. Chung. ”

The camera switched to Zhong Shi, and seeing that the camera facing him had a red light, Zhong Shi smiled slightly and nodded towards the camera, which was regarded as a greeting.

It's just that he didn't expect that when his young face appeared on the TV, it caused a huge exclamation in the market, because most of the traders who saw the show did not expect that the legend would be so young. Although most of them are indistinguishable from Asian faces to Europeans and Americans, in their minds they would be at least forty or fifty years old to achieve such an achievement, the real-time numbers on the screen clearly tell them that this Mr. Zhong Shi is only 30 years old.

"Due to Mr. Zhong's busy schedule, we can only interview CNBC with two other print media outlets this time. Ha, this is also the first time in my streaming career, and it seems that I have to get used to this way of sharing with others, otherwise I may lose my job tomorrow. ”

After laughing at himself, Sean handed the microphone to Zhang Xiaomin and said, "This is Zhang from the Aihua Society, he wants to ask Mr. Zhong a few questions first, and we will see what they can say first." ”

Zhang Xiaomin took the microphone, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, but in the case of the live broadcast, he naturally didn't say anything, so he took the microphone at the moment, first complimented Zhong Shi a few words, and began to ask: "Mr. Zhong, regarding the donation of huge funds to the University of Chicago this time, have you considered donating funds to domestic universities?" At present, there is a lot of discussion about your behavior in China, and most of the remarks think that you are favoritism and suspicion of forgetting your roots. I know that your sister is currently running a large charitable fund, and in recent years has donated countless supplies and medicines to the mainland free of charge, do you need to follow the example in this regard? ”

Zhang Xiaomin's question represents the psychology of some Chinese people, Zhong Shi was naturally prepared for his question, smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Regarding this donation, it is a little feedback to my alma mater, and the amount is not much, and part of this part of the funds will be used for Chinese students at the University of Chicago, so I have not forgotten what I said." In addition, I am considering the plan to donate to domestic universities, and I believe that this part of the amount will definitely not be less than the amount donated to Shiba, and the scope of benefits will be wider. Mr Run Run Shaw donated so many libraries, and I have always regarded him as a role model, so I naturally look up to him. Therefore, as for the concern of not donating to domestic universities, please try to dispel your doubts, and when the plan is mature, we will announce the specific donation method to the public. ”

After listening to Zhong Shi's answer, Zhang Xiaomin showed a smile on his face, this answer obviously made him very satisfied, and it could also make this controversy over this donation in China stop.

Next up is the Wall Street Journal's Chris. Snitty, seeing his green eyes roll slightly, put down the interview outline in his hand, and went directly to Zhang Xiaomin's topic, "Mr. Zhong, I'm Chris from the Wall Street Journal. Snitty, you can call me Chris. I would like to express my high respect to you regarding your donation, but now there is a rumor that you have donated a large amount of money to prestigious schools in order to obtain the right to recommend so that you can recommend the children of those powerful people to school in the future, is this rumor true? Are you really serving your business in the name of donations? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiaomin's face suddenly darkened. (To be continued......)
