Chapter 336
As is customary, the two Ferrari drivers and crew did not leave Shanghai immediately after the race in China. They also have to stay at sponsor events, cocktail parties, shoot commercials, give roadshows to Chinese fans, hold official Scuderia Ferrari press conferences, and so on......
Anyway, after two days, the rather tight schedule made the steel and iron bones like Ye Feng and Raikkonen a little unbearable. But this is their duty to be a top professional driver, and the extra money that is no less than the driver's annual salary is earned by such activities and advertisements. If you want to make money, don't get tired.
No, after all the activities were over, Raikkonen and Ye Feng had to attend an official press conference hosted by Scuderia Ferrari, where they had to deal with the media for a while before the trip to China was complete.
Although the two brothers were tired, they still cheered up to deal with it. The whole meeting went smoothly, and most of the Chinese media and Asian media were very kind to Ye Feng and the others, so the atmosphere was not bad until the host of the meeting handed over the full strength of the meeting to a reporter in the back row......
"Hello, I'm a reporter from SBS Korea, can I ask a question in Korean first?"
The male reporter said this sentence in a very fluent English sentence as soon as he came up, and before Ye Feng and the two objected, the host at the meeting agreed to the reporter's request. During the whole meeting, the reporter asked questions in both Chinese and English, and this reporter's behavior undoubtedly made Ye Feng a little unhappy. What do you mean? And listening to his English skills, it should be good.
But although I feel a little unhappy. Lao Ye and Raikkonen glanced at each other and continued to smile and listen, but after listening to the translator speak the local language. Ye Feng's face began to darken and darken......
"Mr. Ye Feng, first of all, the first question I want to ask is that according to the research conducted by the most authoritative historians in my country, it has been concluded that the Ye clan in China should have migrated from Korea to China by the Zhou Dynasty, so in this sense, Mr. Ye Feng should have Korean ancestry! Excuse me, what do you think about this?
The second problem is that you have a lot of fans in Korea. Coupled with the fact that you are of Korean descent, you will definitely be warmly welcomed in our country. I know that you have never been to our country, and I wonder if you have any plans to visit Seoul in the near future.
Third ......"
"Oh! Enough of your questions, journalist! ”
In fact, the Korean reporter's question was translated into an uproar, and the host who allowed the other party to ask questions in Korean saw that the other party's question was too harsh, and Ye Feng's face was already extremely ugly, so he interrupted the other party's question......
Ye Feng just heard the other party's question just now that his lungs were almost out of breath, after all, he had been abroad for a long time, and he didn't know much about the Koreans, who had already attributed Li Shizhen, Sun Yat-sen, and the Dragon Boat Festival to their South Korea. But the more he listened, the more amused he became. Hearing the end, Ye Feng glanced at the host, who was already a little pale, and waited until the people in the audience returned to calm from the uproar before smiling. In English says:
"Don't you speak English or Chinese, this reporter?"
Such a question was asked rhetorically, which immediately made everyone a little dazed, not knowing what Ye Feng was going to do, only Raikkonen smiled and winked at Ye Feng. Knowing that his teammate was probably going to go crazy, the translator had whispered those outrageous questions to him just now into English.
"Uh...... I know a little, but I can't say it well, so I asked in Korean! ”
The reporter obviously didn't expect Ye Feng to ask this, but this question was obviously not easy to answer, and he saw that his face changed a few times before he replied in his actually good English.
"Oh! So? Then I'm extremely troubled! I don't mean anything pejorative when I ask this question. I just don't understand how your boss could send someone like you who doesn't speak a foreign language to a foreign country. Didn't he know that it was a dangerous thing to do? He's not afraid that you'll get lost in Shanghai? ”
Ye Feng was still speaking in English, because he knew that the other party could understand it, and most of the media reporters present could also understand it.
As soon as Ye Feng said this, before the red-faced SBS reporter with a thick neck could say anything, everyone burst into laughter. Ye Feng didn't wait for the other party to answer, and continued:
"Actually, I was really surprised to hear your first question! If I heard me right, you're saying that I accidentally became the ancestor of Koreans? What a pleasure it was!
As for the Seoul you mentioned, I don't think I've heard of it, Kimi, have you heard of it? What is that place? ”
Ye Feng said this and asked with a smile at the iceman next to him, Raikkonen was obviously holding back his amusement, but he could only hold back his shrug and shake his head again. See Ye Feng
Turning back to himself, he said:
"I've only heard one place name in Korea, and that's Seoul. It seems like there was an Olympics held there, right? Right! Seoul Olympics, I remember! ”
"Uh...... Mr. Ye Feng, in fact, Seoul is now Seoul. Our capital of South Korea has been renamed Seoul! Please stop using the name Seoul! We in Korea have hosted the Seoul Olympics for 88 years. ”
The reporter finally stopped speaking in Korean and spoke in English. In fact, this SBS reporter was already a little angry with Ye Feng's next words, and he wanted to interrupt Ye Feng's words and not let him "insult" his great motherland again. But as soon as he saw the reporters who were all looking at him next to him, and then at Ye Feng's smiling face looking at him, he suddenly softened a lot from the momentum.
In fact, he originally learned that Ye Feng had a hot personality, and wanted to ask such a sharp question to force the other party to be angry, so as to take pictures of some Chinese Ye's ugliness, and then return to China with some sensational gimmicks to increase the sensationality of the news, but he didn't expect to be softly insulted by others to insult him and the motherland......
"Oh! That's it! That would be a shame! Actually, the name Seoul is quite good! It's been used for so many years, how familiar it is! What a representation of your country's long history! Don't the people of your country value the inheritance of history the most? How could such a thing be done? As for your second question, I don't have any activities scheduled in Seoul, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go anytime soon. ”
Ye Feng still said with a calm smile. It's really cool to be able to humiliate that sb, Lao Ye can't see such a shameless and arrogant guy the most. Regarding the so-called diplomatic etiquette that should be paid attention to at the official press conference, he Ye Feng is just a person, and he can't control him. Could it be that a South Korean embassy would send a note and protest to China over his Ye Feng's personal words and deeds? Even if that country is really that awesome, so what?
"Enough! Mr. Ye Feng! Please stop your insulting words and deeds against the Republic of Korea immediately! And as a citizen of the Republic of Korea, I strongly ask you to immediately give a reasonable explanation for your words and deeds and apologize immediately! ”
The SBS reporter finally couldn't bear it anymore, and at this time he stood up and yelled at Ye Feng in extremely fluent English, the righteous and awe-inspiring look on his face was as sacred as when their Da Changjin invented "Ma Boiling San".
"Insults? Did I insult you? Moreover, my words are already clear, and I don't feel that there is anything that needs to be explained! ”
At this time, the host next to Ye Feng had turned green after hearing Ye Feng's words that the translator whispered to him, he was already a little dispossessed at this time, and kept glancing at Ye Feng, meaning that Ye Feng should stop saying anything excessive, and it would be over if he really got involved in foreign affairs. Like many people in China, this host is obviously the kind of guy who has weak legs when he sees foreigners. But I'm sorry, Ye Feng doesn't have this problem.
"You...... You...... You must apologize immediately! Otherwise, we will take further action! When the time comes, you will have to bear the consequences very severely! This is a serious diplomatic incident! ”
That SB reporter was already going completely crazy, if it weren't for seeing that this was China, he would have rushed up and fought hard with Ye Feng.
"Where are the security guards here? Why haven't you come to maintain order? ”
Lao Ye, who had vented enough, no longer paid attention to that sb, and just said lightly.
……
The scene at the media meeting was quickly published by the world's major media for the first time, and everyone saw this "amazing" scene in the shortest possible time.
However, the reaction of the media and public opinion in different places has been different. The Americans don't think there's anything wrong with Ye Feng's words, in fact, they also have the same "doubts" about Seoul becoming Seoul. Europeans, on the other hand, were more entertaining, and they turned the event into one version of a soap opera.
As for South Korea itself, it was, of course, an uproar. From the top of the government, down to the grandfather and grandmother, they were already angry with Ye Feng, and a whirlwind that vowed to "stink", "block", and "boycott for life" quickly swept through this small East Asian country.
China's local media, on the other hand, are relatively ambiguous. There are many mainstream media that criticize Ye Feng's "unscrupulous words" and "youthful impulsiveness" from the perspective of "justice" and "fairness", which has made him a loser. They all believe that Ye Feng should issue a press conference on this matter as soon as possible, apologize to South Korea for his words and deeds as soon as possible, and eliminate the negative impact as soon as possible.
Of course, there are also many online media doing public opinion polls, but almost more than 8 people think that Ye Feng's actions are worthy of approval, which is enough for men.
However, regardless of people's opinions on this matter, the coolest thing is undoubtedly the major news media. They knew that Ye Feng had not been a guy who kept to himself all along, and this time his performance was still very "outstanding"......
