After the interview, Song Chen, who was relieved, took Yin Jinghe and Ashley Fanning to an Italian restaurant to relax.
Elegant and lazy music lingers in the ears, and romantic and soft lights illuminate this high-end and atmospheric Western-style restaurant. Of course, there are also beautiful ladies who are either well-dressed or wearing evening gowns with pursed lips and smiles.
After tasting a few mouthfuls of Italian macaroni, Ashley Fanning said to Song Chen who was sitting opposite her with a worried heart: "The American media Oh, according to the Chinese, it is the Western media that has been criticizing you for immigrating to the United States. Things are very exciting! As I said before, this is the victory of the free people! The reason you just said in front of the TV has almost got to the point! But I think you still have some reservations in front of the host. ,Yes or no?"
He casually cut a piece of fatty steak and put it to his mouth. Song Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Ashley Fanning with a deep look, and said with a half-smile: "This is not the first day you have known me. , it¡¯s not the first day you¡¯ve met Chinese people, don¡¯t you know that we Chinese have always been reserved and polite in our speech?¡±
Ashley Fanning smiled slightly and said: "I'm not an outsider, and I'm not trying to test your tone now. It shouldn't cause any taboos if we talk about it, right? Having said that, you Chinese people do have a lot of taboos, and some of them are very interesting. They are also very meaningful, and some are too rigid and sensitive - if you can strictly follow this kind of education, you Chinese should generally behave like nobles!"
Song Chen chuckled and said nothing.
Yin Jinghe shook her head and said softly: "In the past, we Chinese also had our own beliefs and education systems. It has developed from Confucianism to Confucianism for two thousand years, and it has almost penetrated into our national genes. Because the burden of history is too heavy, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has The feudal system was buried together! Before the reform and opening up, we Chinese only worshiped crazy leaders; after the reform and opening up, we only worship money, and we are all fans of money worship!"
At the end of the story, Yin Jinghe looked free and easy. But there is inevitably a hint of self-deprecation.
"Eh" The surprised voice came from Song Chen. He looked at Yin Jinghe's beautiful side face and laughed, "You still know these things. Under normal circumstances, the teacher would not say this judgment!"
Yin Jinghe rolled her eyes at Song Chen. He smiled and said: "When I was in junior high school, my history teacher mentioned this paragraph after class. Because these arguments had never appeared in textbooks, I was very impressed!"
Song Chen said seriously: "Let me guess, your teacher must have been a victim back then, so much so that he would talk about these unbearable past events with you junior high school students who have a blank social experience. Through your experience over the years, I can still feel his resentment in my mouth!¡± [Note: This is actually my junior high school teacher However, the instinct of class struggle seems to have been rooted in the genes of the people¡¯s teachers, so much so that this teacher talked about Yue Fei¡¯s ¡°loyalty to the country¡± At that time, he also reminded us coldly that "Yue Fei is the representative of feudal landlords"]
Yin Jinghe smiled and said nothing, but Ashley Fan Ning frowned slightly. It was not because Yin Jinghe's singing and answering questions were wrong, but from Yin Jinghe's words, she vaguely realized one thing: Song Chen and his lovers are all atheists!
Usually, the wealthier and better educated a country is, the less religious its citizens are, but the United States is a famous exception. The United States is very different from other Western countries in terms of religiosity. It is closer to less developed countries such as India, Brazil and Lebanon.
Not only that, ¡°atheism¡± is a severely stigmatized and demonized identity in the United States! Even today, in the eyes of many Americans, "atheist" is still synonymous with evil and moral corruption, and is even less trustworthy than criminals.
If it were normal, no one would care about Song Chen's beliefs, but after he immigrated to the United Stateswell, he still needs to find an opportunity to persuade him about this matter in the future. But now
Ashley Fan Ning Yingying said with a smile: "I am not a historian. I am not interested in China's bumpy political changes. I am just very interested in some of your ideas. I believe that people who have the same problems as me will definitely not few!"
"That's not right!" Song Chen smiled. Said, "When I was recording the show, I was both idealistic and realistic I wasted a lot of saliva, which seemed very reasonable. There was even a little bit of sympathy, but it didn't actually touch the core!"
"Huh?" Ashley Fanning frowned, recalling what Song Chen had just said at the show recording site. He even took out his shorthand notebook and glanced at it, but he didn't feel that these words were a waste at all. Slobbery crap¡±, on the contrary. Every argument Song Chen makes is very clear, and they are all real problems!
??If Song Chen accepted the interview to give the Chinese people an explanation?Then his purpose has indeed been achieved So, what core issues have not been raised?
Not only Ashley Fanning was confused, but Yin Jinghe was also surprised. However, she vaguely realized something, but the sudden inspiration had disappeared.
"Pragmatic Chinese people do not lack the means and wisdom to get rid of poverty and become rich, but as Jinghe said, the glorious history is sometimes a huge burden! Chinese businessmen may occasionally have experienced the long history after Zulong unified the world. There are spectacular times, but most of the time they are not recognized by the government, let alone protected by the law!"
The inexplicable melancholy made Song Chen's eyes somewhat dim, and he murmured: "Businessmen without legal protection can only move closer to the bureaucrats, and China's lack of compromise in the political atmosphere determines that it is just a dark jungle of power." , businessmen can only tremble inside, fearing that if they make a wrong move, they will fall into the abyss If the decline of a company is due to the failure of the company's overall strategy, which ultimately leads to the bankruptcy of the company, we think this is reasonable; but if it is because the CEO is in politics I don¡¯t think many people would be indifferent if they stood on the wrong political team, or offended the powerful, causing the company to be oppressed or even robbed! And this is the reason that cannot be put on the table!¡±
Ashley Fanning was stunned for a while before she suddenly realized. She suddenly thought of Russia, which was full of oligarchs after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It was very satisfying to embezzle national assets and be liquidated by the government, but in the process of great changes in the country, were they the only ones guilty of the original sin? At least in the eyes of Ashley Fanning, whose private property is inviolable, the Russian government's liquidation process is far from fair and just.
The situations of China and Russia are very similar. Over the years of reform and opening up, few wealthy people, large and small, have a clean foundation, including Song Chen, Zhang Ruoxi, Wang Xiaoxue, Yang De, Chen Daohui and their fathers, who are more or less in the legal system. In the "regulatory vacuum", people are taking desperate risks in order to get rich. If you want to dig deeper, Song Hua probably spent more than a few months in jail before being released in the early 1990s!
How many invisible rich people were created during the carnival when the country retreated and the people advanced in the 1990s? How many original sins were committed in that process? No one knows!
The original sin of entrepreneurs is the original sin of the system, Wu Xiaobo hit the nail on the head.
However, compared to those seniors in the business world, Song Chen is still different after all. At least Yin Jinghe also has her own opinion. She hesitated and said: "Compared to others, at least your property is the result of your own hard work, and it is wealth obtained legally under the sun. !¡±
"Hey! If only things were that simple! My wealth is indeed above board and cannot be argued with! But Chenxing Group's business model is built on the beach of real policies. If the bosses don't allow me, they can pass legislation at any time. The formality has taken a huge toll on my career! Among other things, as long as they strictly restrict various Internet licenses, China Star Group will be unable to move forward!"
Ashley Fanning sneered: "How is it possible? You are not the only one in your Chinese Internet company who is playing with the Vie protocol. Almost the entire industry is doing the same thing as you, which is to play around with policies!"
Song Chen curled his lips and sneered: "They are indeed doing the same thing as me, but you have forgotten that as the scale of China Chenxing Group continues to expand, we naturally monopolize most of the market. Then the situation will become more delicate! At that time, do you still find it difficult to imagine legislating against oligarchic companies?"
"" Ashley Fanning frowned and thought for a long time, and had to admit that Song Chen's worries existed objectively! And she even understood that by then, it would be very late for Song Chen to think about immigrating again. At that time, the Chinese government might not be still waiting and watching like it is now!
¡°In the final analysis, they may agree with Song Chen¡¯s judgment, but at this moment, China¡¯s Internet has only three clear business models: advertising, games and e-commerce. Of these three models, only online games and advertising have proven to have extremely high growth and profits. Even so, the total revenue is only tens of billions per year!
Against this background of data, no matter how exaggerated, the revenue that China Star Group can capture is only 40 to 50 billion at most, and most of it is concentrated in online games! Therefore, it is quite normal for the Chinese government not to express its position on Song Chen¡¯s immigration!
With a sigh, Song Chen obviously didn¡¯t want to go further into this topic. He shook his head and said to Ashley Fanning teasingly: "My attitude has not changed. I am telling you this not because I think European and American politics are so clean! On the contrary, you Americans' Politics is very complicated. In addition to competing with competitors, I also have to compete with politicians. It¡¯s hard for me to say the pros and cons now!¡±
Having said this, Song Chen¡¯s expression sank slightly, his body leaned forward towards Ashley Fanning, and he spoke slowly and unhurriedly.He said: "Ashley, do you think the U.S. Congress will nod if I acquire Motorola immediately after immigrating to the United States?"
"Motorola?" Ashley Fanning not only changed her expression, but her voice also became sharp. (To be continued.)
